Info-Mac it has been around a long time and there is a web page for them, go to <http://forums.info-mac.org/viewforum.php?f=94/> there you will find the main page that has a set of categories for their archive. This url takes you to page that has the link to download Disinfectant <http://forums.info-mac.org/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=8> -- <<<>>> "But where is the ambiguity?
