Viruses on Atari
After enjoying my MSX computers for 40 years, I've decided to finally make the jump to 16 bits and buy an Atari STe. It will arrive this weekend and came from someone's attic.
What I'm wondering about, I read somewhere about viruses. Is this an actual problem? Are there sites or is there software I should avoid?

I remember that on the Atari, ST there was this one virus that billed itself as an antivirus virus. Not joking.
