[comp.sys.amiga] SCA virus on GVP installation disk.

billh@tekig4.TEK.COM (William Hansen) (10/12/88)

After reading yesterday's posting from the individual who thought he got
the SCA virus from his GVP hardcard instalation disk, I went home and
checked mine. Sure enough, vcheck complained about the SCA virus being
present. Suprisingly, the floppy that I use to pre-boot the hardcard was
NOT infected, even though it had been built from the installation disk. I
got lucky, and only found the virus on one other disk.

I called GVP, and they said that they already knew about the virus and
were taking steps to eradicate it. (BTW, they mentioned they were coming
out with an improved installation guide for the hardcard).

Anyway, if you have a GVP hardcard, you need to get a copy of vcheck
and test your floppies for infection. (Sorry not to give credit to the
original poster, I misplaced the article, but thank you for letting us
know about this).
