I know there was a lot of discussion about viruses a while back, but
I've just hired on to a new job where I'm in charge of several Macs.

The first thing I did was to put vaccine on 'my' machine, and re-boot.
Before I could even get to the Finder I was warned that the resource
"nVIR" was about to be added to my system.  I denied permission, then
bombed.  I booted from another disk and removed Vaccine from my hard
disk.  Now I can boot, but I know I'm infected.  Worse yet, I'm not
even sure which of my 'original' applications disk might also be
infected, as the folks before me didn't bother to write-protect 'original'
applications disk.  I know this because I found our original MS Word
disk and there were some work files stored on the original disk!

They hired me to help them out of their ignorance.  The first thing
I did was to make a rule forbidding ANYBODY to install Applications
that we didn't BUY, but HOW do I eliminate the existing infection?

HELP!  PLEASE!  (beg, grovel)
