Quoted:
Over the years I have learned that it is very hard to get a virus unless you open unexpected attachments from people. If you don't open links sent to you in emails, bad things don't happen to you very often. I rode the net 'bareback' for 4 years recently until I got a virus, making it only the second time I have ever got one-it was attached to a file I was expecting from someone I know. The other time came from a file/pic that was sent via Yahoo IM and the virus infected me before I even had the chance to click on the link for the pic, so in both cases a virus program wouldn't have done much for me but slow my computer down badly and hog resources.
i used to think that ..
