Hi everyone...

Recently, by some unknown reason, (I'm not sure what was the source of the
bug) my Macintosh Plus computer was infected by one of those stupid virus
programs.

I had some virus detective programs available so I was able to remove the
bad resources, but when I did, it destroyed the program so I would have to
replace it with a new copy.  At last count, the virus that I had infected
73 programs on my hard disk.

What I need to ask is would someone please post (in BinHex 4.0 format) any
good vaccine or virus detector programs that could help me from getting in
this situation again.  Also, could anybody specify any "known" programs that
are actually virus programs in disguise.  I've heard of a couple of these and
I don't want to infect my hard disk any more.

You can post your message either to me in private mail, or to the net in
the "comp.binaries.mac" newsgroup.  Though, posting it in the newsgroup might
be better because it will get better distribution.

Thanks in advance...
