Vaccine is normally silent unless some program, INIT, CDEV, DA, (etc) attempts
to modify the resource fork of a file.  Then you will get a dialog box asking
you to approve the modification.  If you are in Vaccine's "expert" mode, 
you will get a few tiny icons in the right corner of the menu bar for OK and
CANCEL.

If you want to see Vaccine in action, try running something like LightSpeed
Pascal or C, they add resources to their project documents and will cause 
Vaccine to squawk...

You must turn on Vaccine from the control panel and then reboot you Macintosh 
for Vaccine to start working.  

I haven't installed the Urlichs nVir init, but you shouldn't need it if
you have Vaccine...



				Hope this helps a bit...
