Anyway, has anybody here been wiped out by an Amiga virus?  I recall getting one that infected the first file in startup-sequence, and that affected a couple of disks before I picked up on it.  I also got one one my HD - the first and last one that infected it - and that was years ago, five or more.  I can't remember what the virus did, but as I was running VirusZ it was picked up on the first reboot and quickly eliminated.

The plural of virus?  I interchange between viruses and virii, but having just read up on the subject, I rather like virora  :-)

Current viruses never seem to do any physical damage.  If they did, maybe people would care more about stopping them (and using something other than Windows/Outlook Express)
