  WE HAVE THE 'BRAIN' AND THE 'PING-PONG' STRAINS IN OUR PC LABS.
PLEASE FORWARD ANY INFORMATION ON THESE TWO STRAINS OF VIRUS.
DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE A GOOD SOFTWARE TO DISINFECT OUR
PC LABS?  I HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON SOFTWARE THAT MIGHT
DISINFECT PC/XT, BUT WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS
PROBLEM FROM ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH IT.
I HEARD THE 'SCANV47' SOFTWARE IS NOT QUITE EFFECTIVE AGAINST
THE '(C) BRAIN' VIRUS, BUT IT KILLS THE 'PING-PONG' VIRUS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH PC VIRUS PROBLEMS, MY
QUESTION TO YOU IS, WHAT CAN A SOFTWARE DO TO PREVENT VIRUS PROBLEMS
IN AN OPEN PC LAB WHERE THERE IS NO PHYSICALLY CONTROLLED ACCESS
TO THE PC/XT MACHINES?...PERHAPS, NOT MUCH!

  ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM YOU ON HOW TO MANAGE VIRUS PROBLEMS IN
A PC LAB WITH NO PHYSICALLY CONTROLLED ACCESS WILL BE APPRECIATED.

  THANK YOU.
