Please help!!

I work in an Apple computer lab at Central Connecticut State
University, and lately we've been having an outbreak of viruses (nVir
A).  I figured it out by using Disinfectant Ver. 1.1.

What should I do??  It is a public lab, so people are in and out all
the time some with their own disks.  We have all Mac SE's with 20 meg
HD hooked up through appletalk.  I tried using gatekeeper, but
programs such as Excel would not work.  I tried initializing all the
hard drives, and replacing them with the original software, but the
viruses keep coming back.  Also some of the people come in with their
own software that could be infected.

Any information on how I can control this problem would be greatly
appreciated.  You can contact me at: FELDMAN_GAL@CTSTATEU

Thanks,
