Concept virus(?)

[ben jeapes]

     Good point. I meant, if you have the virus, don't share your files -- 
     that's how I got it. As I recall, it was from a UK government 
     department whose own virus detection systems couldn't find it. 
     Encouraging.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, this is backwards.  You can get viruses by 
copying files from an unknown disk or system to your disk.  You cannot 
get viruses by copying files from your uninfected disk to another disk 
or system.
