The SCA Virus (the mostly non-destrucive version) has infected some commercial
releases.  This includes:

Emerald Mines
AMNews #1 (The boot disk)


To clean these disks, you must turn your Amiga OFF for at least 30 seconds.
Boot from a KNOWN CLEAN Workbench.  Enter the CLI.  Type "install df0:"
with the infected disk in df0:. 

If you have only one drive, type "install df0: +", wait until the drive stops,
insert the infected disk and then hit return.  **

If you don't have a clean disk, "install" your normal Workbench, then power
cycle again.  *All* bootable disks that have been used on an infected system
probably have caught the virus.


** "+" at the end of a CLI line will cause the program to be loaded, but
not started.  Press RETURN to start the program.
