Oh-Oh.

ClamAV flagged six files as infected:

A64.exe

ACLIP64.exe

ALARM64.exe

RM-GUI.exe

Rm.exe

Xy4DBMac.exe

It lists the following infecting agents:

Win.Dropper.Razy-6646749-0 (four infections)

Win.Malware.Lokibot-6965637-0 (two infections)

Looks like none of them will influence the Mac (I hope!), but still.

Another issue specific to my system: opening the zip changed my keyboard setting from Dvorak to QWERTY. I did quickly give permissions to a few boxes that popped up during the installation without thinking about it much.

It won’t overwrite but it expects a folder in it named XY4, and won’t work without it. So RENAME your existing DOSBoxDisk and try out the new system first. This is ABSOLUTELY crucial. Then, if you like the new system, you can bring in stuff from the old disk. If you don’t like it, just delete it and restore your old renamed disk. --
