   So my question is, with all these other virus checkers, am I leaving  myself
   open for some virus?  Is there some (known) virii that VirusX doesn't get?

Yep!  VirusX (latest release to my knowledge is 4.01) doesn't
recognize all virii.

   Is there some other virus checker I should have?

Get Virus_Checker from ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (or something like that) from
directory ....amiga/cucug/cucug03 or from ab20.larc.nasa.gov
/amiga/incoming (not sure about the exact address/directory on either
one, but they are somewhere out there...)
