Strange Messages
Hi, got a strange problem here thats been worrying me, hope someone can help me out.
A game I bought from an online auction arrived today and since loading it up i have been getting the following message every so often: -+= CHEATER HIJACKER =+- GENERATION: 0512 The message comes up like a guru meditiation error but in yellow and the Generation number changes every time. I have a bad feeling this is a virus, i hope im wrong! My Amiga is a 600 with 1MB of RAM if that helps Thanks |

Hmm, didn't see it listed on this page:
http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/desc/all.htm But perhaps it's an unknown virus, if it is that. Maybe somebody else has more info on this. |

I managed to find a virus checker on one of my AUI coverdisks. It reports the virus as the 'Taipan' virus. I am currently in the process of checking every disk i have used since the infection and repairing the boot lock. Is this alright or is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks for the help everyone. Dont know why these low lifes find pleasure in making these viruses???? |

Thanks for the advice Twistin. I'll go through my collection and write protect everything. And I'll run a quick virus check on any games that I buy just to be sure. Thanks for the help.
