I use the VirusX program, and I'm pleased with it. SCA's and
ByteBandit's are eaten.

VirusX warns about viruses and non-standard boot-blocks, but
for me only in df0: ! (As I said earlier, my viruses are gonners so
I'm only sure for non-standard bb's, but why would there be any
difference?

I have a 2000 with one external floppy (HD inside), which means df2:
When I put a disk in df2:, VirusX just increases the 'Disks checked'
counter - nothing else. In df0: it warns about the non-standard
bootblock. Where's the problem?

I use VirusX 1.21.

BTW, anyone know if the ByteBandit may affect an Amiga hard disk?
