Aminet: Virus warning

[cgutjahr]

Some older software has been uploaded to Aminet for preservation purposes recently, and in the last two days three infected uploads slipped through the virus checking system we have in place. We are very sorry for the inconvience and any problems this might have created on your end.

The files in quesion are:

• game/actio/MotherLode.adz
• disk/bakup/PDCopy30.lha
• util/pack/BytekillerPro10.lha

If you downloaded these files, delete them immediately.

Out of curiosity, which Antivirus software do you use and is it kept up to date?

Amiga virus checkers haven't been updated for more than a decade, but the youngest Amiga virus is a lot older than that.

What I use for virus checking is CheckX, a batch utility utilising xvs.library. Plus a bunch of Bash and AmigaDOS scripts for downloading, extracting and invoking FS-UAE (which then runs CheckX).
