Disinfectant

Disinfectant was a popular antivirus software program for classic Mac OS.
==History==
Disinfectant was originally released as freeware by John Norstad in the spring of 1989. Disinfectant featured a system extension that would detect virus infections and an application with which users could scan for and remove viruses. New versions of Disinfectant were subsequently released to detect additional viruses.
===Reception===
Author praised and recommended Disinfectant in 1992.
===Discontinuation===
In May 1998, Norstad retired Disinfectant, citing the new danger posed by es, which Disinfectant did not detect, and the inability of a single individual to maintain a program that caught all of them.
