Yes, there is a virus problem in the Amiga world, but not nearly to the
extent of the PC world. A utility called "KV" can detect certain kinds of
viruses that are attached to executable files. Most of the other viruses
are BOOT BLOCK virusY.O8nd those are usually only in files which are
complete disk images.
As for whether or not the Internet community would have found any viruses,
yes I would think so. I've retrieved things from the /incoming directory
and never had a problem from there either. Perhaps you can get an Amiga
person to classify that /incoming directory for you? I've heard a couple
of people mention they'd like to get some of the files which were in
incoming.
