I have written an init for use on Macintosh computers which checks for the presence of the nVIR and Scores viruses each time you start the system. If it finds an infected System, the user is presented with an alert which describes the situation. One can Shut Down, Continue, or (eventually) Repair the disk. The program is designed to be transparent in use so that it is suitable for novice users. Just throw it in your System Folder and forget about it (unless you have a virus, that is). It does not yet provide the same level of protection as Vaccine, however. It is for those people who do not want to deal with a more technical defense against viruses but who want some warning before all their applications get infected. I'll send it to whomever requests a copy. Bill Lipa Bitnet: lipa%polya@stanford Arpanet: lipa@polya.stanford.edu
