> Isn't this a normal Amiga system message? Yes. But the AV software he's using isn't available for the Amiga, so presumably that's not what he's using. There is a Guru Meditation PC virus (a .COM infector, I think). It's rather old and not often seen. If all those packages fail to detect it, the chances are it's not there. > Isn't this in the FAQ? Nope, if you mean the alt.comp.virus FAQ. It isn't a Frequently Asked Question. * The FAQ doesn't and can't deal with individual viruses unless there's a very pressing reason to. After all, some vendors are now claiming to detect upward of 47,000 PC viruses alone. I have a job, and the FAQ isn't it. * It's very unusual for someone to ask Amiga questions here: there isn't much up-to-date info on the system at all, let alone on virus issues. There are one or two links in the FAQ, which I haven't checked for a good while. -- David Harley
