[X4U] VShieldCheck

[Scott McCulloch]

Well, a bit more digging and I found the answer - even though I  
thought I had disabled Virex after upgrading to Tiger, there were  
still some bits hanging around. I found the uninstall script on the  
original dmg file and managed to get rid of it.

In case anyone else is experiencing this, here's a link to some more  
detailed info on what you need to get rid of to fully uninstall Virex.
