All the viruses of the Amiga computer

THE SCA VIRUS : The original. The one that started all this craziness. It hides in memory, attaching itself to ANY disk you boot off of. Prints the infamous "Something wonderful has happened...", etc., etc. Install all disks that have it and then reboot from a cold start or from a warm start HOLDING down the LEFT mouse button. This puts it to death. The SCA is the simplest virus to deal with, as it's not actually DOING anything except hiding in memory, until you reboot. BYTE BANDIT VIRUS : What the Byte Bandit virus does is once it's in memory, it copies itself to just above the high memory pointer on the first hunk of RAM it can...

IRQ Presents another virus for the Amiga

A couple of weeks ago we received a disk from a member of the 68000 User Group in Denmark, with at least one virus on it. This was the IRQ Link Virus mentioned some time ago in this group. It is out and spreading, and we have currently no cure for it. Symptoms are a title bar with text: IRQ Presents another virus for the Amiga On closer examination several programs (not the bootblock, it's OK) were strange. BlitzFonts did not look like the original. We have used the old (Fish 26) UnHunk program on these, and the code hunk of NewZap was very small (<2kbytes), while the data hunk was large enough to contain the program proper. It see...

AMIGA VIRUS By ED EARING Although I am not an owner of an Amiga, and although I am not familiar with much of AmigaDOS, I have read the following disturbing subject in a couple of other user group publications. I will attempt to make this report with findings gathered from articles authored by Larry Phillips (Commodore Users of Bartlesville) and Jo-Ann Nemeth (Commodore Users Group of Columbus, Ohio). If you see this message appear: "Something wonderful has happened. Your Amiga is alive!!!" Please become very concerned. A European group called Swiss Cracking Association (SCA) is taking the credit for this latest form of invasion. The usua...

I just return from a trip to Australia, and while looking through some of the local computer magazines I spotted an interesting article in MEGACOMP, an Aussie mag for the Amiga. The following is a letter submitted by "The Fallen Angel". As a member of the POISON (Australian) Cracking Association, I would like to comment on how well you have covered the subject of viruses on the Amiga. Every comment you have made on each virus is 100% correct. But I would like to point out htat after you said it might have been the MOVERS who made the Byte Bandit Virus, I got in contact with them, and the MOVERS did not make the Byte Bandit Virus. This got...

Una volta installato WinUAE, caricate il programma Andate su "Display" e selezionate "Scanline" (questo se volete rivedere la grafica dei giochi nel loro aspetto originario) Andate su "Sound" e scegliete "Emulated, 100% accurate" (questo se volete risentire la musica ed i suoni del gioco originale) Andate su "CPU" e selezionate "Match A500 speed" (questo se volete che i giochi girino alla stessa velocità a cui giravano su Amiga 500) Andate su "ROM" e selezionate i tre puntini alla fine della riga "ROM file", scegliete la ROM del Kickstart che necessariamente dovete possedere per utilizzare un qualsiasi emulatore Amiga 500 (ogni versione ...

Parte 5 – Installazione giochi con WHDload Ora è il momento saliente. Ci sono 2 modi per installare i giochi, il primo consiste nell'utilizzare le immagini ADF dei giochi per installarli con WHDLoad. Il secondo consiste nello scaricare i giochi già installati e pronti per essere lanciati. Io tratterò solo il Secondo metodo. Aprimo Ibrowse e rechiamoci su www.whdownload.com cerchiamo un gioco e scarichiamolo in una cartella a scelta, io ho creato la cartella Downloads dentro Work. Aprimo Unarc oppure mostriamo i file nascosti e clicchiamo 2 volte sul file appena scaricato. In entrambi i casi si aprirà Unarc. Selezioniamo una cartella ...

Parte 4 – Installazione programmi aggiuntivi Ora che il sistema è funzionante installeremo 3 programmi utili (per mè necessari): – Ibrowse (browser web, versione demo, durà 30 minuti e poi si chude, lo preferisco ad Amiweb perchè più completo) – MUI (componente richiesto da Ibrowse) – WHDload (per installare i giochi su Hard Disk, WAHHHHH) Iniziamo con MUI MUI (Magical User Interface) è un po' schizzinoso per cui và estratto direttamente dal Workbench, NON da windows. Andiamo in System > Tools > Unarc Clicchiamo sul bottone vicino alla scritta Archivio, si aprirà la schermata di selezione dei file. Clicchiamo su Dischi e poi UNA ...

Parte 3 – Ottimizzazione del sistema In questa parte configureremo il sistema al meglio. Prima di tutto la Lingua. Andiamo in System > Prefs > Input In Keyboard type, selezioniamo Italiana e clicchiamo su Save. Andiamo ance in System > Prefs > Locale Anche qui clicchiamo sulla lingua Italiana e clicchiamo su Save, tutto il sistema verrà tradotto nella nostra lingua (yuppiiiii) Se vogliamo eliminare il bordo alla finestra principale (che fa molto stile Windows 3.1) Teniamo premuto il tasto destro del mouse, andiamo in alto su Workbench e selezionamo Pannello. Così sparirà il bordo e tutto sarà più Desktop. Per salvare le modifiche ap...
