I'm looking for a virus checker for an IBM PC that has the following
characteristics:

- -- Not memory resident, and so does not check for infections in real
time

- -- runs any program I call after first checking a checksum or CRC
against a pre-stored library (and warning me if a difference is
found).

- -- user-adjusted formula for checksumming

- -- will calculate
checksums for me.

In other words, I'm willing to accept an infection once, but not to
have it run.

anything out there?
thanks.
