nVIR adds an INIT 32 resource to the System File.  Use Resedit to remove
this INIT.  Note that if you have booted using this system file since you
did your cleanup, you have reinfected your disk.

There are several shareware products that scan for and clean up nVIR, of
which Pennicillin is probably the best.  There are also two commercial
products (of which I am the author of one) that find and _repair_ all
known viruses.  Your computer store can help you if you decide that one
of these products is what you need.
