Disinfectant 2.2 ================ October 2, 1990 Disinfectant 2.2 is a new release of our free Macintosh anti-viral utility. Version 2.2 recognizes a new strain of the ANTI virus recently discovered in France. Version 2.2 includes new "Desktop Files" commands in the Scan and Disinfect menus. These commands can be used to quickly check for and remove the WDEF and CDEF viruses. Version 2.2 corrects an error in the alert displayed by the INIT if an infection is discovered in the System folder during startup. Version 2.2 also corrects an error in the positioning of new windows on classic 9 inch Mac screens. Due to an error in the Rodime Cobra disk driver, Disinfectant does not work properly on Cobra drives. According to Rodime tech support, this problem can be fixed by reinstalling the driver with the disk cache code disabled. See the "Special Features" section of the 2.2 online manual for details. The Disinfectant sample source code has also been updated to version 2.2. Disinfectant 2.2 is available now via anonymous FTP from site acns.nwu.edu [129.105.49.1]. It will also be available soon on sumex-aim.stanford.edu, rascal.ics.utexas.edu, comp.binaries.mac, CompuServe, GEnie, Delphi, BIX, MacNet, America Online, Calvacom, AppleLink, and other popular sources of free and shareware software. Macintosh users who do not have access to electronic sources of free and shareware software may obtain a copy of Disinfectant by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope and an 800K floppy disk to the author at the address below. People outside the US should send an international postal reply coupon instead of US stamps (available from any post office). Please use sturdy envelopes, preferably cardboard disk mailers.
