I'm having problems running Disinfectant 2.4. We have one Mac
lab consisting of 16 SE/30's with 40 mg hard drives that are
partitioned into two hard disks. During my normal maintenance of
the lab I do a routine virus check using Disinfectant 2.4. The
program works great on 15 of the machines. When I run it on the
last machine, the program calls up fine, but in the upper right
hand corner where it should normally tell you which drive/partition
you are currently scaning, the program comes up with a blinking message
saying insert a disk to be checked. This lab is networked using
Appleshare and I do the virus check from the network. On the other
15 machines the name of the server comes up, I then switch to the
2 partitions and scan them. On this last machine, the name of the
server shows up for a quick second then it changes to the flashing
message. I've tried running it from diskette and the hard drives and
still get the same message. I can't get it to work at all.
Could this be some kind of virus?? I've never seen this before and
have no clue as to what could be causing this. I have had no problem
with this particular machine, everything else runs fine on it. Does
anybody have ideas about what may be causing this. I've run out of
ideas. Thanks for any assistance.

I saw a similar problem on a machine which has a Disinfectant Preferences file which had been configured for Scanning Station Mode (which is supposed to behave this way). Discard the prefs file and try again. - -Geoff Bronner '91 Student Consultant, Dartmouth College Computing Services - -- geoffb@Dartmouth.EDU | Student Consultant Fieyrnt!
