The first thing I downloaded at home was Star Wars Imperial march using a 56k modem. But before that a colleague of my father made a fair bit of money using his relatively fast internet connection to download games and apps from newsgroups, effectively running a subscription service offering 1 CD each with programs and games per month. I still have the Mp3, but the CDs are long gone.

I tried to find more about this, but it’s half “viral grandma meme” and half “help my grandma’s phone is full of viruses”, lmao
What was this virus?

I can’t find a clean wiki entry or anything, but I did find some info. Try searching for GranGrave, GranGrave.1150, or burglar.1150.
The string is mentioned in this doc I found and there are a number of other scattered references. apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA394231.pdf

Yup, this one: wiw.org/~meta/vsum/view.php?vir=245
Our version of f-prot was severely outdated, and remediation method of choice was a full reinstall while booting from a clean 3.5 inch floppy.
