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)?
