The Ebola Link Virus

[Piru]

XVS.library... under OS4,MOS and AROS it has no purpose.

Not quite true. At least MorphOS is compatible enough for link viruses to function just fine, and I early on made sure that xvs.library was fixed to function correctly under MorphOS.

Of course the scope of the potential 68k virus infection is quite limited, but at least you can run VirusZ and xvs.library under MorphOS.. which is nice if you're scanning amiga archives for viruses.

OK but how they can infect MOS?

Um, execute the infected binary?

I wasn`t speaking of MOS 68k compatibility, but of need for the library.

Well not many other packages allow scanning for amiga viruses on other platforms so I can see use for it.

Surely, you could copy library and run VirusZ on OS4 also.

Assuming the library and VirusZ works under OS4. xvs.library has some extreme measures to verify the integrity of the library itself. It isn't taken that it works under OS4. Maybe it does.

What I know is that xvs.library does work under MorphOS, along with VirusZ.
