This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway (never
stopped me before :))

I just picked up a used Mac II. The thing came loaded with all
sorts of goodies on the Hard Drive (Pd programs, games, inits, etc).
But strangely enough, no virus checkers to be found ! I'd like to
check this thing out and give it a clean bill of health before I
start infecting half the machines at work :)

So, what's the latest, greatest PD anti-virus ware for Mac IIs?
Is there an FTP site that I can get it from ?

And oh yeah, before I ask too many dumb questions, is there 
a monthly "answers to dumb questions everybody asks" posting for
this newsgroup ?  If so, can some kind soul e-mail a copy of the 
latest and greatest ?

Thank you
