Windows 95 was very vulnerable to computer viruses. That being said, almost every personal computer operating system of the era was vulnerable. This was an era of single user operating systems where software could easily gain full access to the machine. The notion of the operating system running with greater privileges than applications was fuzzy since applications could simply inject a device driver override that. (Granted, that isn't technically necessary for computer viruses.) There were, of course, exceptions (e.g. Windows NT). Those exceptions were rare in homes and small businesses. There were people who would claim that their operating system is an exception, but most of those claims were only supported by virus writers having limited interest in those platforms.
