Viruses on HD

Hi,
My config : A500 K1.3
I have a virus on my harddrive.
Do you know how I could get rid of it ?
I used VT3.57 but it crashes right after launch file scan of HD0:
According to what I read, this virus seems to be dangerous (HD format).
Btw, does Saddam virus infect 'disk-validator' of HD or only floppies ?
Any help ?
Thanks,

Edit :

In case it could be important, my HD is 900Mb sized and I have a second floppy drive as DF1:

Doesn't (N) mean that it is not a virus? (Nutzer, i think a virus gives a (V))

Isn't it the encryption/login resource for the ALF HD controller?

You're probably right, as I'm not used to Amiga Antiviruses. I didn't know HD controller could change kickstart pointers.

Yes, that's at the same place I download VT3.17. Accoding to Virus Help Team, this is the only good 1.2/1.3 antivirus.

Concerning SPB, yes after this alert, I did another backup of Project folder on disquettes. Twice, never knows.
