I've just finished cleaning up an outbreak of the WDEF A virus on my department's Macintoshes. I like to scan each machine with several of my favorite antiviral programs, such as Virex, Virus Rx and Disinfectant, just to be as thorough as possible. But since these programs are targeted at a single user/single machine, this becomes pretty tedious and time-consuming very quickly. Even a routine scan of all machines amounts a fair amount of time. My question is this: what is available (if anything) in terms of Macintosh anti-viral software that will run over a local AppleTalk network, preferrably in the background (like InterPoll and the likes) or can at least be time- scheduled? (Our net is composed of MacPlus's, MacSE's, and Mac II's, each with their own hard disks and systems. We also have a VAX fileserver account for each user.) Vaccine developers: How about it?
