> > has anyone here actually gotten a virus on a mac or windows box?
>> Yes. In 1995.
>This is where we all pull up our trouser legs and show of scars. I got
one a couple of years ago, two or three. My own fault, used a Hong Kong
cd a friend gave me. Virus didn't do too much as far as I could tell. I
only discovered it when downloading a self extracting zip .exe file. It
wouldn't extract and gave a crc error about the size of the file being
too large. A little program later and it turned out lots of my exe's had
a little bit of padding. Virus software I had would do nothing but erase
the discs.
I formated :-)
