First it was floppy disks...

In prehistoric* times, viruses could only be spread via floppy disks. Virus writers then forgot about storage media and moved on to other infection methodologies. Seems that retro is in vogue again as there is an increasing threat where malware infect USB devices and use them as transport mediums. Beware what you stick into your PCs people.

* Ok... I'm exaggerating... before the advent of the Internet, emails and Instant Messenging.
