First virus I ever had on a system was the "Stoned Empire Monkey" virus.
Not sure where it came from, probably a file from a BBS. That lead to my first use of A/V software - McAffee. The whole thing fit on a floppy. Ran it, it cleaned off the virus, and that was the last time a system of mine was actually infected. Although there have been periods when my incoming mail checker has gotten one heck of a workout (stupid relatives).
