Hi , on the subject of [amigactive] Re: Have I got a PC, you said:

That is just so damn stupid its unbelievable! Who would write a virus that
would only work on ONE amiga users hard disk?! They would even have to have
access to that computer in the first place to see how to do it, so they might
as well just open a shell window and do the damage themselves!
There is no STANDARD way of exploiting YAM to delete a users hard disk!
Therefore any virus that did this would only work on 1 users computer! Its
dumb!
The NEAREST you could get would be to attach an Amiga executable to an email,
and tell them to save the attachment and run it. This is HARDLY the same
thing as a VBS file in Outlook, where they get a little icon on their screen
and all they have to do is click on it!
Besides, as every idiot knows, its more effective to just upload the
executable to aminet anyway!
