Need Anti-virus advice

I recently copied over a bunch of software to my Amiga and decided to run virusz III (from classicwb) and to my horror discovered that I had the Happy New Year 96! virus on my system (I don't know where from though since I bought second hand stuff and never scanned them (bad I know)).

After spending a day checking several dozen discs and hopefully getting rid of it from my system (including the RDB by updating the FS in HDtoolbox), I just want to check what practices I should take to reduce the chances of infection.

In addition to scanning every file using virusz, I'm also doing an addition scan with virus executer.

Anything else I should do e.g. is there a good realtime antivirus so that e.g. before the disk mounts it checks it?

Sorry for asking a noobish question but I'm concerned about another infection especially because I'm using a HDD so I can't write protect and due to the hassle it was to setup the unit. I also still have to disinfect the floppy disks.

My Amiga is an A1200 with a HDD, KS3.1, M1207 8mb RAM (no FPU) and classicwb full (wb3.1 version).

Thank you.

Thanks, I'd actually forgotten about that when posting.

But is there anything general purpose to e.g. scan before mounting?

VirusZ can be run in background but it might pop-up to often for you if it found unknown changes. Safe (Aminet) is also fine for background usage. Just have a look at http://www.vht-dk.dk/ there you should find all information you need.

Sorry, for the late response (been busy).

Thanks for the advice, I'm currently running through everything and hopefully try to avoid them from now on.
