    Hi, what was the most intelligent virus on Amiga? I think that SADDAM is
    in that category. I would like to read your opinion? :)

    Yeah Saddam was pretty potent if memory serves. I actually never had much in the way of viruses on any of my amigas either back in the day or in present times.

    I had an old virus pop up not long ago. The Happy NewYear 1995 Virus
    think it was. It got in a file that a few of our boards shared and spread to multiple systems.

    When I bought amiga (last year) after 25 years without my old Amiga I
    got SADDAM from some of my old floppy's and some adf files. It was so
    anoying! So I decided to start with assembler (after long long time)
    again so I can deal with SADDAM by myself. And I made it :) That
    little tool is on aminet even thou there is couple of saddam killers
    this one is mine :)

    Oh yea, I got hit with it big time also.. Like Gary said there was about 4 or
    5 of us that got hit with it and we all ended up having to redo our systems.
    In my case when I built my Emulation of the Amiga I didn't install a Virus Checker because A) everything was outdated, and B) who is writing Virus' for Amiga's today? Well didn't think I would get hit with a Virus that was 25
    years old!

    Huh... Do you have that virus somewhere? If you do, is there any
    chance to send me a copy on desaddamvk@gmail.com ?

    My system is clean now, BUT I may still have a zip file of my directory
    which was infected.. I will have to look around my Server to see if I saved it..
