Virus Scanning on an Amiga?
« on: August 04, 2006, 10:08:37 AM »
Hello

Last night I was installing a fresh copy of Workbench onto my A1200 (which I've not used in a while) and was thinking about the software I'd install afterwards.  The obvious ones like IDEFix and MUI came to mind instantly.  But then I started to think about what the first things I normally install on my PC were.  The two that sprang to mind were a Virus Scanner and Firewall.

In the olden days I insisted on always running Virus Checker II and it served me well and saved me a couple of times.  

However I was wondering if there is still much of a need to do so.  I'm guessing that there are not many virus checkers still supported for the Amiga, but likewise I doubt there are any new viruses being written.  I realise there may be some viruses still floating around but if you stick with trusted (non-pirated software) maybe things would be okay.

So, I'm intrigued to know what kind of use of virus scanners still exist within the community?

Cheers
