Me neither.

Of course, I have been using Linux for close to the last then years, but
even before that I caught viruses before they did unrepairable damage.


This don't mean I never got virus, but I always see it before any damage done.
I have seen many computer destructed by visuses, of course, even very
recently.

I even had to clean executables using debug - before antiviruses were
handy... Or write my own antivirus software.
