[comp.virus] Problems running Disinfectant 2.0!

GREVE@wharton.upenn.edu (Michael Greve) (07/25/90)

     Hi,

	First off I want to thank the people who responded to my plea for
      help with the 4096 virus.  Things are under control now.  I have another
      problem though.  I've downloaded Disinfectant 2.0 and cannot use the
      help function on my machine.  I have an SE/30 with 4mb of memory.  The
      program will scan and disinfect fine but when you try to call up help
      the machine freezes and I have to re-boot.  I have many INIT's, CDEV's
      and DA's in my system folder.  Could these be causing this?  I also
      have a startup screen and various other things in my system folder.

	Does anybody know of anything that could cause this. It works fine
      on other machines so I know it has to be my computer.  I have so much
      going on in the system folder I don't know (or have time) to remove
      things one by one to test them.   Any help will be appreciated.

If it's controlling your inits/cdevs that you want, let me tell you about the
Init CDEV 3.0 written by Jon Rotenstein.  when starting up, hold down the space

bar and you will be presented with a dialog box containing a scrolling field
with most of your inits and cdevs.  The ones that are hi-lited are the ones
that will load into your system heap.  You can even specify if this is to be
temporary or a permanent change.

Init CDEV is avialble in the sumex-aim.stanford.edu archives.
