Defragmentation and antivirus

[Hodgkinson]

Hi there,
Can anyone recommend a *reliable* defragmenter for OS3.0 FFS Partitions <1GB in size (With lots of % free room on each partition) ?
(The A1200D that im building up's 2GB HDD probably looks like a car crash... :-D )

Also, does anyone feel that it would still be a good idea to use a antivirus program for their amiga today? Any recommendations for the most-up-to date antivirus software (If any)?

Btw, Can WB be hacked into via the internet in the same way as PC's? Should I be as worried connecting a unprotected Amiga running WB (And probably AWeb) to the internet as a unprotected PC with IE?

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have a look into them, and hopefully end up with a nice defragmented, clean WB3.0 System.

I've never actually had a Windows, or Amiga virus, that I know of. All I've had are two different applications that only show up in AVG when the Win32 File heuristic is turned up to max, of which I know these files are in fact ok.

Having said that, I don’t really keep any form of backups of anything (Not enough time), so it pays to be safe (He says this then his hard disk fails totally...). Also, the internet is accessed from a separate PC than the one I use for Office, and the two machines are never connected to the network at the same time. USB is used to transfer files between then, of which the USB is always virus-scanned prior to transferring files.

Btw, ReOrg is listed as Shareware. Can anyone confirm if any sort of keyfile/keycode is required to activate it (I cant see any such item in the aminet readme)?

Regards,
Hodgkinson.

Hmmm. I should imagine defragmenting the CF card will improve performance in the same way as defragmenting a HDD. Its still reducing the amount of processing that has to be carried out to load a program (Caused by all the links from fragment to fragment). It also means that the CF card will recieve less of a hammering each time you access it, so regularly defragmenting it should help extend its life in the same way as a HDD.
