I haven't has a virus since I picked up Stelboo at an AT&T Teachers
Institute I attended six years ago in New Jersey. I purchased IBM PC just
for their updated virus checker and it cleaned everything out. Now I always
use virus protection, and even though students bring disks from home or
whereever, I have never been reinfected. The viruses have changed since
then, but so has the protection. It still requires viligence.
