I remember people being worried about viruses pre-Internet. You had to be careful about borrowing software from friends and things like that.

- thenickdude 3y agoIndeed, my DOS machine got infected by a Jazz Jackrabbit disk borrowed from a friend. I had a text-mode launcher menu for running programs, and that had an "anti-virus" feature built-in that checksummed programs, and alerted you if their checksum ever changed (since these viruses spread by infecting .exes), which is how I found out about it!
