The BGS-9 virus is real and out there. I just got the newest
VirusX program from Steve Tibbett and ran it on my system. It found
the BGS-9 virus on my workbench disk, my backup copy of my workbench
disk and two other disks. I had a few friends also find it on their
disks. The virus seems to inflict damage on the first executable file
in your startup sequence. It infests itself in it and moves part of
the original code to df0:devs/. The file shows up there without a
filename (or it is masked somehow). VirusX v4.0 is out and will
find/kill that virus. It can be had on compuserve and is showing up
on many of the Amiga BBS's throughout the country. Better check your
system, it may be infected.
