I used all versions of DOS (except 1.0), connected by modem to BBSs and
then to the Internet willy-nilly (and still do) and was infected only once,
by our own IT person when she installed a required piece of software on my
computer at work. My security was running Windows 3.1 in 32-bit. It
detected that mofo virus (STONED) immediately. No need to buy Fnorton.

Never got infected at home.
