For me the best solution in fight against viruses was to switch to Mac

Wow, I remember reading about the Elk Cloner! I think it was more of a goof at the time than the viruses of today, but I guess it encouraged others to up the ante. It spawned so many problems, especially if it did indeed start the virus trend. I wonder when some virus will become self-aware?
