	Allow me to comment further on this subject.  You would be
mistaken to think that I did not have to deal with viruses..... I can
remember several incidents of major virus infection.  One machine
actually had 99% of its applications infected ( and it's 200Mb )
	But what we have implemented at our school seems to be
effective at stopping the spread of viri.  I believe all of them have
Virex init installed.  While that may not be able to stop everything
that comes along, you certainly would not have to scan your machine
daily ( personally, I consider that a terrible waste of manpower, use
programs to fight programs.... don't use people.!)
