I work in a computer lab at the University of North Texas, and we have had a *lot* of experience with Mac virus problems. The lab is a public access facility, and anyone in the University can use the Macs (Mac II, color, 2 meg ram, 40 meg HD). We have a very diverse collection of people who wander through, and most of them want to use their own software. Some observations: WDEF has *not* made it here yet... Almost every other kind has. I think I have the current record for most diversity in one machine: SCORES NVIRa NVIRb INIT 29 It crashed, and the user wanted to know what was wrong...... INIT 29 can cause a System death all by itself. We have been running Disenfectant for several months, and it works great. I noticed that one machine that was "clean" after Disinfectant 1.3 had a "partially infected" System and Finder when checked with 1.5. Another problem was that we run all eight Macs off of an IBM file server under Netware, and that Netware allows infections to be written in by a program (though it won't cross-infect on the server itself). Gatekeeper does not like Ethernet boards... :( Is anyone running or working on a "pre-emptive" anti-virus product like SAM or Gatekeeper that will work well with Netware and Ethernet? Please let me know (if possible).
