I would definitely install Virus-Z from aminet and immediately run a file check on your hard drive.  I went for many years, thinking that no-one would bother writing a virus for Amigas anymore, etc.

Recently I was setting up an A500 and noticed things acting wierd.  Installed Virus-Z and ran a scan.  It found the Ebola virus attached to a hundreds of the files on this newly set up computer (it got infected through some piece of software I installed and replicated itself).

Then I ran Virus-Z on my WinUAE setup that is several years old, and there, too was the Ebola virus.

This is an old virus from the 1990s, but it is still harmful.

I would install an anti-virus program especially if you plan to trade software with other Amigans or download .adf software from the internet.
