- I have heard reports of a file appearing on BBS's called DW171.lha that is
- described as a directory utility but is instead a dangerous trojan virus.
- So this message is to warn people that there is no DirWork version 1.71 and
- never will be as I will skip that version. The latest version of
- DirWork is 1.62.
-
- Any information about the #$?#?# idiot who is behind this would be
- appreciated so legal action can be taken. It really is a shame that the
- Amiga users have to put up with such stupidity.
