Have a look at the Virus Help Denmark site. I personally use the  VirusChecker II.
The Amiga virus-threat  was blooming during the 80-90s, but now is something rarely seen.

here is a good tip , if you have fast mem (ie an mem card/accelerator board) use os3.9 (require 6mb of fastram) , that will give u alot more as a newbie, especially theese days.

but i dont know if you have fast ram at all..

good luck! and welcome to amiga.org !

Exterminator,

Why do you think that you need to install anti-virus software on your Amiga 1200?  If you do not plan on getting on the internet then you do not need the virus checker.  And even if you do plan on getting online, you still do not need a virus checker.  A virus is just a small program, and like all programs, they will only run on their native platform.  Most virus on the internet are created to attack PCs.  They will not even run on an Amiga computer.  And I do not know of anybody in the Amiga community that still creates Amiga virus.  Now back in the late 80s to early 90s you had to be careful about getting a virus because people were copying disks back then in pirate groups.  This is a thing of the past.  Today Amiga users are buying Amiga software in the hopes that the Amiga will survive if it gets enough support.  My advice to you: don't worry so much about virus.     :-P

Well fly,

10 years ago I was a proud owner of a amiga 500.
I borrowed some diskettes from friends of mine.
before I knew it almost al my floppy's where infected.
I could not boot from the floppy's  anymore.
And because the 1200 has a hd, I dont want to get infected

Im using my pc to send downloaded games and programes to my amiga.
and I dont want my 1 week of work to be destroyed.

 :-D

I installed VirusExecutor and it seems to be working.
Do those programs automaticly scan floppy's when inserted ?  :-D
