I didn’t but I wasn’t downloading random suspicious crap off the Internet either. I’m not sure I even saw the famous ones like I Love You or Anna Kournikova. I probably wouldn’t have been hit, though, since I’d also been taught not to open random, unexpected email attachments.
I was downloading a bunch of suspicious crap, but I also was… you know, not opening executables? I feel like you heard a lot about more sophisticated attacks back then, but most of the bad stuff was super obvious, but maybe my experience is not typical, I don’t know.
That was my experience. If I did want to check an executable because I was getting a cracked copy of something I had a piece of shit computer that wasn’t connected to anything where I could move the file and test it.
Most of the malware was hilariously unoptimized and would grind the piece of shit to a halt immediately. I had a stolen copy of Deep Freeze from work so a quick reboot put everything back.
