The only problem with an 'anti-body' program is that some jerk will
no doubt create a virus that 'looks' like an antibody program, 
flashing the screen, etc, so you think you're safe, when in fact 
you're being infected.  The best defense would be source code to
an anti-body program so that you could customize the bootup action.
If my disk boots and says "Steve Goldstein, this disk is safe"
I can be pretty sure it's MY message, and not a deviant strain of a
'public' anti-body program with a much more generic message.
