Rest easy: I retrieved a vanilla AMIGATERM disk off of our production line and found NO virus, just standard boot code. Are you sure that you did not introduce the virus from one of your other disks? Could your modem have been an exchange (ie maybe someone else bought the modem, decided not to keep it, and [accidentally] introduced the virus before returning it)?
