For what it's worth, my first virus attack happened in 1978 via Floppynet from our office system. It was a boot sector virus that installed itself on every floppy that was used on their system, and on mine until I disinfected every single one of the 150 floppies I used on a regular basis. Then, a few months later I found out I'd missed one..... Kaspersky is currently warning me of a few malware attacks each week, mainly from websites mentioned on this newsgroup. -- Tciao for Now!
