[comp.virus] I'm New - What do I do with all of this?

eschner@mdcbbs.com (10/06/89)

I have a question that maybe others want to ask too:

I am new to BBS'es. This is my first other than our company one, so I don't
think that my PC at home is "bugged" (though I have bought some shareware
disks). I find all of this talk about viruses facinating - and frightning.

1) How do I make sure I don't have any viruses on my machine, and
2) How do I remove any found viruses? Do I have to by programs, or are there
   some in public domain? Can they only be obtained from PC BBS'es, or over
   this network?
