But now there is a new dimension of worms because 'MyParty' is able to avoid virusscanners. Therefore it is advisable that you do not open unknown attachments.
Have a look at the title link for the full "PC-Welt"-article.

Tool: AutoUpdateWB Version 45.1
Massimo Tantignone has written many tiny but useful tools which he offers at his website for download. The Program 'AutoUpdateWB' version 45.1 has been added. With this small patch Workbench-windows will be automatically updated whenever you create, rename or delete a file within the window.
For instance if you open a Workbench-window but you delete some files from the Shell you can see how the appropriating icons vanishes out of your window.

On the homepage of StrICQ the second BETA version of the client V2 is released.
Download: STRICQv2.lha
Important hints for installation:
- Unarchive to its own directory. STRICQ and STRICQ v2 are incompatible.
- Only run STRICQ v2 from a shell prompt (I have not tested it with an icon, are you brave?)
- There is a lot of debug output to the shell window, you may need to send me a copy of it.
- Run the program, it will not be able to get online right away.
- Enter your Nick (whatever), your UIN, and your Password. Click 'Save'.
- Close the program by using the close window button on the contact list window.
- Your prefs are now saved.
- Restart the program and if all went well, you should now be online.
Know Problems and Caveats: IMPORTANT!
- You can not add contacts manually yet. If you have never used ICQ2001b, don't bother using STRICQ v2 at this time.
- If you have used ICQ2001b before, STRICQ v2 will import your contact list from the server.
- You can't close the prefs window, so don't try. :-)
- If you get an enforcer hit, please forward it/them to me on the mailing list.
- You will need the latest versions of NList, NListtree, and TextInput.

Amiga commercial (4min and 30sec) from 1992 discovered
A 4-part Amiga commercial from 1992 is now available exclusively at
The Commodore Billbard.
It's a whopping total of 44 MegaBytes.
It's a big commercial split into 4 parts. It was included on the VHS edition
of "The Lawnmower Man" back in 1992. At the beginning of the tape, you'd find
the usual movie-trailers. In between the trailers, you would see these
commercials for the A600 and the CDTV. If you watched all 4 commercials,
you would be able to answer 3 questions and get the chance to win one of
three different Amiga packs.
You'll find audio-previews of the commercials too, for you to listen to
before you download the big files.
The clips can be found in: Commercials -> Amiga Commercials.

Messenger: CIM now supporting PGP5 for encrypting chat
Marius Schwarz wrote:
CIM is now supporting PGP5 to encrypt packets.
This mode was not tested, yet. Since PGP5 outwardly only differs in
its syntax from PGP2.6, I guess it works without problem.
CIM allows to send messages through firewalls server independent and
with PGP encypted, has a clear user management and useful additional
information.
CIM is not compatibel with ICQ , AIM or YIM.

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III Version 0.96
Well, this is the best news in 2002 (so far).. Georg Hoermann has started
to update VirusZ III, and a new full update is now available for download
at our homepage.
Here is some info about the update:
Name: VirusZ III v0.96
Archive name : Vz3_096.lha
Archive size: 35.575 Bytes
Date: 27 January 2002
Programmer: Georg Hörmann
Requires: OS 2.04+, xvs.library
Neu in VirusZ III v0.96:
- Once again written by Georg Hörmann, as Dirk Stöcker doesn't have
any time. No longer beta version, because all features are working
well, missing ones are no reason for a beta release.
- Fixed bug in vector check that appeared with xvs.library 33.37.
No longer uses private stuff from inside the library.
- Fixed bug in vector check startup code invented by Dirk's updates.
No longer uses uninitialized gadget pointers.
- Added 'Show...' function for 'Data Viruses' from xvs.library.
- Rearranged 'File Check Preferences' back to just one window after
Dirk replaced the old archive stuff with XAD.
- Added missing 'ROM Update' memlist entries to the brain.
But: There still exists one entry that cannot be added because of
missing static data.
- Added recognition for MuForce and MuGuardianAngel patches.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Richard Smedley (UltraAccounts)
Amiga Arena - Interview
Richard Smedley, developer of the homebanking software UltraAccounts, just released an update
that enables the usage of the Euro with UltraAccounts. UltraAccounts is shareware, the first version was available 9 years ago. The English version of the interview
is available here.
Olaf Köbnik: "This interview once again turns out how much important feedback is for the developers. Whether or not development of "UltraAccounts" will be continued in the future depends on if there are users interested in this. It would be more than a pitty, if another developer would stop development due to lack of feedback!"
Note of own concern:
Dear Amiga friends! "Amiga Arena" might stop its service in the foreseeable future. The first measures will not be taken before easter.
Olaf Köbnik - Amiga Arena

Amiga Arena: Question for Digital Dreams Entertainment
Amiga Arena asked Digital Dreams Entertainment if they are still developing for the Amiga.
Digital Dreams Entertainment released "Wasted Dreams" (1999) one of the best action adventure games of the last years.
The original answer:
Unfortunately we had to cancel all our Amiga only projects.
We are now working on several new projects, from support parts for 3D
animators (in 3dsMax, Lightwave or Maya) to children games for PC and
Console.
Kind Regards,
Thomas
Digital Dreams Entertainment
