    CLEAN77 works well for networks.  I use it for our Netware 2.15
here at the University of Kansas.  There is a complementary program
called NETSCAN77 that will scan the server for viruses.  Once a virus
has been detected, you use CLEAN77 to cure it.

    McAffee and Associates is a very helpful company.  I recently
discovered a virus that NETSCAN will not detect on EXE files and
called them and told them about it.  They were very helpful and will
be putting out a solution to this problem in a couple of weeks.
