yes there are Virus's on amiga's.. I would suggest VirusZ and make sure you have it updated..
the same as there are virus's on Linux, Apple, and PC's..
I would get an offline antivirus and boot from a flashdrive to make sure there are none on the PC..
I too have the keygen for amiga forever.. not that i have used amigaforever.. i use winuae and the rom i took from my amiga1200 before i binned it.. basically i broke it using a ide card catweasel.. and connected a cdrom drive.. so of course when i moved the amiga with the attached cdrom, the drive fell of as i was moving it.. and pulled the cable and the amiga never booted again.. binned.

A virus could have got through even with kaspersky running.. i've noticed recently via my emails there seem to be a lot of PDF's attachments and yes those can be infected.. which is why i never downloaded them.. didnt know the sender and it seemed to be the same type..

Wouldnt blame the keygen unless it was from a different group..
mine is by CRD filesize 269,312bytes
or CRUDE via the latest version *******.*****.********.*.**.*.*.*.****.******-***
