Not sure I've ever been concerned about viruses on the Amiga, but a search yielded this informative page:

https://www.dstoecker.eu/antivirus.html

That is what I thought, but I recently found "Happy new Year 96" virus all over my minimig 1.1. It was infecting executables in my startup so it was resident at boot.

I figured my A1200 would have been inundated with the same virus, but I only found it in some backup LZH files that I had created on the Minimig and I had never extracted.  

It was fairly easy to remove with VirusZ, however when the virus was removed some of the EXEs were corrupted and caused a GURU, so I ended up redoing my ClassicWB install.

You don't know if you don't look :)
