Hi,
Loading some games from HXC unit on any A1200, seems infected the HD with Liberator Virus V5.01. Showing this message and not load the OS:
" Congratulations this disk has been liberated'
' of virus protection!!'
' Hello from the Liberator virus'
' v5.01 - Random Disaster'
'The anti-anti-virus is here again!'
'Lets play trash the hard disk'
' and ram the disk heads'
' The piracy curse'
'Liberator V - The future is near.'
'Look out for Liberator VI - The final nightmare ...'
'coming soon from a lame swapper near you!'
' Respect to the virus masters
Lamer Exterminator,crime & Contrast.'
'And remember - be excellent to each other!'
'The liberator 27/07/92'
'Virus Generation : ',0 "
So reading some info about this virus, The virus installs a .fastdir file. It seems, just need delete that file.
I found the .fastdir file, and deleted, but now just show a black screen and stop, not load the OS.
But anyway, if someone know, how delete the virus, please comment a i will apreciate.
And remember, take care with games downloaded from TOSECS, and other sources if you are using on any Amiga with HD.
Regards.

You are wrong, based on the text you quoted it is V5.01, not V5.1.

What floppy on the official TOSEC had this? (if any in there, haven't found any infected ADF myself).

Yeah, was a type error.

Solved.
The virus modifies, the User-Startup secuence and write on C two files.
Just delete some User-Startup script modification: the first instruction "pvy ;" and "br c:pvy ".
On C must be deleted the files "br" and "pvy".
And thats all. The virus is gone.
I scanned with Virus Checker II, and found the possible "infection source": "Creator Trojan Virus" in .adf file "Dinamic Studio" from "Dinamic Drums" aplication.
