It seems that the feature of SAM that its supporters like the best is the
automatic scanning of inserted floppies.  Did you guys know that
VirusDetective also can automatically scan floppies when inserted?  Jeff
Shulman also sends out postcards whenever a new virus is discovered; since
VirusDetective works by using a kind of script language, Jeff puts the script
to detect the new virus right on the postcard.  You just type it into VD and
you are protected right away.  (Then just sit back and wait for the new
Disinfectant to come out.)

I use the Disinfectant Init to protect my system (John claims you don't need
Gatekeeper Aid when using his init), but I do worry about one thing: since
this init is the last init loaded, does this mean it can't protect the system
from other, evil inits?  Why can't the Disinfectant Init be loaded first?
