In any case one of the viruses attached its self to various files, so the question I have is, is there any (knowen) Amiga viruses that do somthing similar (ie. that couldn't be detected on the boot bloc w/ VirusX, Vcheck etc. because there were attached to a FILE)? Also, if there is any of this type on the Amiga, is there a program to find/ remove it? (I'm feeling paranoid about all my disks!) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: Me?
