- : I own an Amiga 1000 (running WB 1.2) and have never
- : experienced a virus in my life. I don't have any virus checkers or anything
- : related to virus detection or expulsion. Just today I rebooted the system
- : and got the "Your Amiga is Alive [SCA virus]" message...
-
- You lucky ;) That is the original SCA ? Maybe you could sell it to some
- collector, it's really rare nowadays ;) It's too easy to get rid of...
- Symptoms show that it has already infected some more of your disks, as
- that note pops up after infectioning more disks.
- Just keep your machine shut for long enough (0.5 mins) to kill all living
- viruses from memory, and boot the machine with writeprotected disks that
- are surely (kept writeprotected originals ?) virusfree. Then install all
- disks that can be infected (are not writeprotected) and maybe all of your
- disks that doesn't have their own bootprograms (games).
- And what is the most important. Get some Viruskiller, like VirusChecker.
-
- If this message is not answered by too many people, I'm willing to send some
- program to you (uuencoded ?)
