It was probably about ten years back that my Amiga got bit by a virus called the cccp virus, it would infect the boot block of the next unprotected floppy that you put in the drive. It wrecked a couple of floppies before I caught it, since then I always write protect my floppies and always run antivirus software on all of my computers. Ever since then I've been fortunate enough not to pickup any virus's. On my pc I run two firewalls , norton and never open attachments that I wasn't expecting and even if I am expecting an attachment I always scan it just to be sure. Those first couple of floppies that I lost years ago was a cheap price to pay when it comes to learning about the damage these ugly programs can do. Amiga computers are not immune but there are way fewer infections out there when compared with the pc. I guess with the new generation amigas we're gonna need a new antivirus program ? new machines / new OS's = new holes for attack ?
