I always used Virex on OS9 but AFAIK it is now impossible to  purchase a
single copy either retail or direct from NIA.  Anyway, given the recent
reported problems with v7.5 I think I'll pass.

Having given it some thought I agree with Randy; I'm unlikely to pass on
the Windows mass viruses and the Word macros (which I am most likely to
pass on) can be dealt with in Word itself and/or with the Intego product.
