Best virus software for OS 3.1?
« on: January 05, 2016, 04:09:42 PM »
I am having some issues booting AmigaDOS disk images (ones without a custom boot loader) with my HxC2001, and support thinks its an Amiga virus causing the issue. (Hard for me to agree.)

Details:

So, what is the best Virus scanner to use for AmigaDOS 3.1? It's an Amiga 2000 '020. Last virus software I used on the Amiga was VirusX about 23 years ago.

Thanks.

Virus Z III works well for me on real Amigas and MorphOS.

I use latest ViruZ myself. It uses a shared library so it's as up to date as it can be.

And HDD, too - got once something that infected about 1000 files - but VT did remove it without any loss.

... at that time I did not have HDD in my Amiga, I did not care much about it.

And don't think you can't get a virus from those ADF files you download either.  My Minimig found one.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.
