Virus and firewalls
« on: July 24, 2006, 03:43:50 PM »
Hi,

do you know if is there a new release of an antivirus for OS4 (ppc native)?

I know that there aren't ppc virus in general and for OS4 in particular but I think that say "Virus in Amiga OS? No problem they aren't" is quite dangerous...

Thanks in advance.

I use Virus Executor, that seems to be the best developed.

Here's an interesting question now you mention PPC though... are some viruses incompatible with certain processors in the 68k range?

For example, would the shift from '030 to '060 stop certain viruses working properly?

And how do they survive a warm reset (RAD: is another oddity)...


I don't know if there is incompatibility between 68k's processors...maybe, but I think that a virus uses the OS and not the processor.

As under windows...various viruses uses OS processes and not instructions inside Pentium 3,4,5 or Amd cpu.
