The only viruses I managed to get were the CIH, that I got from a copy of Easy CD Creator (and, consequently, destroyed the BIOS of my machine ), a JOKE virus from a copy of Duke Nukem 3D Plutonium Edition (I always remember that virus when someone says the word "Viagra", wonder why? ), and a Macro virus at one of my school's computers when they asked me to run a virus check (there were like a hundred infected files, with the same Macro virus, so I just sit and laugh away at the list, for no apparent reason ).
Looks like I have no luck with official things like CDs and school computers

I don't get it - how do so many people manage to get infected by viruses? No virus has touched my machine for at least three years. Firewall, up to date antivirus scanner (not that I need it) plus an ounce of common sense (hey! let's open message.txt.exe in this email with no text and see what it is!) and you are safe. Is it really that hard?
Only serious virus i have got was that Sasser virus, although that was a quick fix, search google for a removal program, turn off my system restore and voila.
I think Firewalls are way too annoying, i tried the Norton Internet Security Firewall and it was the fiorst firewalll i have ever tried, and will be my last. it kept popping up time after time and was really bugging me.
Router firewall, its so powerful sometimes it blocks me out of using my connection, no bloody virus is getting in. And i rarely download things, and when done its always scanned.
I have the best virus scanner ever! 4/\/\|\|3514'5 5(_)|D4|2 1337 \/1|2(_)5 5(4/\/20|2!!!!!111oneoneeleven
I've never gotten a virus using that, I've only had viruses, very bad ones at that, under norton, the only time I killed my computer was when I accidentally replaced the bottscreen file
As a boy, I wanted to be a train. I didn’t realize this was unusual—that other kids played with trains, not as them.
