I've written an application to remove the SCORES virus from infected 
applications (it's nowhere near as good as others around any more.)  I 
can say with certainty from disassembling the virus and understanding 
every single line of its object code, that infected applications can be 
100% brought back to their original state, uninfected and functional.
 
The problem with reinfection is probably applications being launched from 
a floppy that hasn't been cleaned out.  Run KillScores, Ferret, Virus RX 
from Apple, and any other anti-viral utility, on all of your floppies. 
Now you're clean....
 
Next, get Vaccine from CE Software.  It's available on most commercial 
services including Compuserve, and on plenty of private services. 
Vaccine will warn you RIGHT AWAY if Scores is trying to infect your 
system.
 
You're all set-- unless you bought programs from EDS Data Systems. 
SCORES deliberately damages applications with creator types from EDS.
