[comp.sys.amiga] SCA Virus on Cltd software

bhh@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu (Barry Hales) (10/31/88)

I had heard that some people had received copies of the SCA virus on the
disks shipped with their GVP hard disk inteface cards, but for some ignorant
reason I didn't check the disks that came with my Cltd host adapter.  Well,
foolish me, I got gotten.  Sure enough, the virus was indeed on the original
master disks that came with my Cltd interface card.  Just wanted to warn any
users of GVP or Cltd cards to CHECK YOUR SOFTWARE FOR THE SCA VIRUS!  I now
plan to assume the standard practice of checking ALL disks before booting
with them.  I spent all day today going through all my software, which isn't
much fun at all.  Thanks to the author of VirusX, the process was simpler
than it could have been.  The initialization part of virux didn't seem to
want to work, though, so have an open cli (or shell now with 1.3) to do an
INSTALL with.

Happy Hunting!
