Hello: i have this unsual issue I have Os 3.1 on my Amiga occasional the following files in C Dir get written over. I have protected them but sometimes i still get errors. Files are Add Datatypes,Info,Iprefs,List,Mount,version.

My question is what would cause this! Would there be a problem with Motherboard I have version 1b 1992.

I bought it used on ebay. thank you for all response appreciated!

Like others have said, your problem will either be filesystem corruption (due to incorrectly configured HDD) , or a virus.
Every amiga owner should have VirusZ installed - just to check their hard drive once in a while, or when handing new downloads / unknown disks.

I had the Ebola virus a couple of years back (I'm a jinx) and VirusZ sorted it out.
I always use Voodoo-X to handle my archives too as it has a built in virus check (using xvslibrary) which I always select before extracting new archives as there's still files on aminet which are infected with virus's believe it or not.

I got the Ebola virus from an infected MagicWB download from "Zeb's Amiga Downloads" however.
