The only virus that I got while on the amiga was 'Saddam'... although other than replicating and generating some drive-noise, I don't think it really did anything. It would infect the /l/disk-validator program, which automatically gets loaded & run on any floppy (or harddrive) you insert... disk-validator is a small OS app that lets the OS find out which blocks on a drive are bad. It would put itself on any floppy you inserted, and more annoyingly was the exact same size as the original disk-validator file.

So since I was unfortunate enough to have the copy on my HD infected, it jumped to pretty much all my floppies before I was able to wipe it out.
