A ``non-infectious nVIR stub'' means:

	* There is a CODE 256 resource
	* It looks like the nVIR code
	* CODE 0's first jump table element does not point to it

They were sometimes created by a bug in VIREX 1.0 when it repaired nVIR; this
bug was fixed in version 1.1 and only a few copies of 1.0 got out.  They can
also be created by incorrect repairs of the file.

In your case, what has probably happened is that there is a CODE 256 resource
in your ".rsrc" file, and when you build the application, that resource is
added to your final program.  Use Resedit to check out the file of resources
attached to your project.
