But if you write-protect your disk's the viruses cant be spread (unless you have a HD).


I remember reading somewhere, can't remember where, that write-protection simply doesnt protect at all.
It's just a softwareswitch saying that you can't write to the disk.
But a virii, or nonvirii, programmer can go around it and yet write on a writeprotected disk..

due to the switch not changing anything in the hardware..

(forgive me for the poor output, im tired, words are flying in my mind, and ive just turned 19)
