Daniel,
Back in the day, I know some boards fell victims to these activities.
One bbs I co-sysop'd on got the michelangelo virus. Not only did it
effect all the files in his hand picked file section, but it also
effected all his files as well as on the floppy. I believe it even
wrote itself to the drive's mbr.
I've always "practiced safe HEX", and rarely got uploads. Not
requiring them helped, too...although I did most of the uploads.
Daryl
