Has anyone beside me had the following experience with Disinfectant?
At work, I found a couple of our macs (an SE and a II, both running 6.02)
infected with nVirA.  The infected files were System, Finder, and a couple
of applications.  I disinfected everything with Disinfectant 1.1, which upon
running again, claimed to have done its job (no viruses found).

Upon rebooting, I checked the machines with Interferon just for grins...
It found an 002 in System on both machines!  (All other files were fixed
as advertised.)

Naturally I trashed the system files and reinstalled.
