Arrrgh... Antivirus for link-viruses
Somebody know a good antivirus for link viruses? I have Virus Checker and Virus Z (both from Aminet) but both are old and they are not good for aniquilating these little menaces.
Thanks people!

A link virus is one that infects files, not bootblocks.
Here you can get the latest antivirus programs: http://www.vht-dk.dk/vhtdk/amiga/download.htm There are no new antivirus programs because there are no new viruses. |

Thanks for the explanation!
I read someplace about link-viruses and guessed it was a special type of virus. I guess, in Virus Z docs it says some link-virus arent handled yet. So I was worried about my system being infected by them. Its good to know virus arent created today. Thomas, I annotated the site and will be visiting it today.
Thanks all for this site and the help devoted by all you.

Has anyone ever had a virus from surfing the net on their Amiga?

While browsing I not found any virus.
I downloaded "James Pond II AGA" from GodFlesh site some time ago and it had the "Happy New Year 96 virus". The files on my hard file image (I not have an Amiga now, but I have plans to buy one. My last was an Amiga 500) got full of that "happy" virus...
