I have caught a few. Dealt with them using programs from the internet or system restore.

How about you? Which virus did you catch. How did you find out you had a virus (and which one?) How long did it hang around? And how did you finally solve the problem?
 
Viruses, yes, from downloading, but what hit me most is the crapware, spyware and fakeAVs when browsing the net. A lot of people in my environement are getting these lately.
 
I haven't for a long time. I find that if you watch what you download it pretty much keeps you safe. Bundle that with a good antivirus and you'll be fine.

I did catch the blaster worm back in the day within like 15 minutes of connecting to the internet with a new install of windows, but there is a quick fix for that and it's all good.
