   I am a newcomer to Amigaland, and I have just had my first run-in with
what appears to be a virus.

   I have VirusX v 1.3 which was given to me when I bought the comupter, and
lately every time I boot on this system disk which contains VirusX, it
informs me that the ByteBandit virus was found in memory and has been
disabled.  I used the program to check other disks and found some that came
back positive for the virus, and I tried to fix them.  I just can't seem to
get rid of it.  Esp. on the system disk with the virusX program.  I get
the "virus found in memory" message EVERYTIME I boot the machine.

   First: what is the ByteBandit; what does it do?
   Second: how can I get rid of this pest.

Thanks.
