I got one major one (my fault, shouldn't have open a e-mail, I was told that 
there was a virus in it), I only lost about 5 file in the bbs file area, the 
rest of it was in the c drive, just happen to be working on gettign a new h-d 
ready, had a few windows update to get and the a virus program to put on it, 
let 
just say I got that h-d ready, faster then I was planning on it, use it to 
remove the virus mess, and then made my only backup, but now I have more stuff,
need to make a backup, it took me about a week to bring my bbs back up (after 
the backup, was chatting by IM, to a few sysop's

ok

SD> Haven't had a virus since. ;)

yep, I got a few e-mail into the bbs mail server that were virus, was told and
