I'm especially interested in products to clean up virused disks, as well as detection. I've tried looking at the archives on beach.gal.*, but unfortunately they seem to be in PKARC or ZIP forms which I'm not able to decode on my UNIX system (I've got regular ARC, and the unzip stuff I've found in the archives doesn't seem to work on System V.) Are there other archive sites? Aside from a problem at work, which we've mostly cleaned out now, the person whose machine was infected says his kid says all the PCs at school have the same problem (Jerusalem-B black spots), so we're trying to find a public-domain cleanup solution. ( The commercial products I've seen require licensing, which I doubt the school would spring for, and I'd rather not see them ripping off code which is presumably what got them in this trouble. Do any of the commercial products allow schools to use them free?) Pray for peace; Bill # Bill Stewart 908-949-0705 erebus.att.com!wcs AT&T Bell Labs 4M-312 Holmdel NJ # Hacker. System Designer.
