Being a good boy, I have a production computer thats not connected to the internet. Which is a pain in the arse, but I thought it was worth it because it minimised the risk of getting viruses.
Recently found a virus on an internet laptop, after updating the virus db I found one on an USB key.
My production computer is ****ing full of the things. I've never connected it to the internet once, or installed a dirty piece of software. ****ing plague ridden USB keys seem to be the culprit.
So argh. I haven't had a non-internet virus since the days of no internet and virus carrying floppy disks. Thought we'd moved on from that....
Moral of the story seems to be - keep your computer connected to the net, just so you can keep good virus protection up to date.
