Gatekeeper aid also trap some other potential virus modes (MDEFs for
example) stopping those potential viruses. This is also the reason that
GKA is large than Eradicate 'em.

Try GK 1.1.1 (were is 2.0!) + Disinfectant INIT + GKA 1.0.2 -- I use
them and I feel pretty safe  (yea, right, I'm paranoid :-)
