I particularly like the fact that the program DOES take care of the folks that you mentioned - -- "Idiots that continue to use the same old infected disks.....". For those of us that work in educational settings -- GateKeeper and Disinfectant are a must, in my humble opinion. I truly appreciate the authors dedication to providing us such fine products -- for free!! BTW, we also provide a means for folks to get these fantastic programs at our Micro Center -- they just bring a blank disk and we give them a locked disk with the programs on it.....
