No it's just not you alone, many people get infected that's why it is so important to keep your AV app up to date.

BTW, stay away from small files under 1MB.

A formatted 3.5 inch floppy disk is 1.44MB, so 1MB will not quite fill a floppy disk.

BTW, an old 5.25" inch dual sided formatted floppy is 1.2MB and holds less data than the 3.5 inch disk.

Think of it this way: Video/game/movie/software files are extremely, large in size. Think very BIG in terms of size, depending on the file extension when downloading and always scan the file with your AV before opening it if you're not sure and never turn off your AV!


what language do you speak because this forum has different languages? if you look at the front page.

851.7Kb is less than 1MB

851.7Kb < 1MB

851.7Kb = Virus
