AntiVirus for a KS1.3 machine
« on: September 09, 2011, 11:04:14 AM »
I'm looking for the least out of date freely downloadable AntiVirus to KS1.3 machines.

VirusZ, a personal favourit but stopped support at 3.07 and seem the least likely candidate.

BootX 4.50 is a candidate but I don't like the GUI (want it discrete like VirusZ/VC).

VirusChecker 6.33 is the candidate I'm leaning towards (or newer 6.53 if KS1.3 is support, v7+ seem to have killed KS1.3 support). This to me seems like the best candidate, especialy as it uses libs other programs can also use.

Am I forgetting something here? Help please.

How many viruses do you get on the Amiga nowadays? I don't run a virus scanner - it seems pointless to me.


Just because there might not come new ones doesn't meen old ones automaticly disapear from the wild, so I do run across one now and again. It's a security measure just like wearing a seatbelt... useless until it's needed. Just the other day I found an ADF with virusinfected files and going through my pile of "empty disks" will quite frequently show an infected bootblock when about to get formated.
