I never fell for mp3.exe, but I did install Real Player and use the built in browser once.
I learned how to remove a Trojan virus that copy pastes itself into a few directories before mom got home from work at 9 years old.
People wonder why I know so much about computers, a large part was fucking up the expensive family PC repeatedly.
I feel like that's the case for a lot of our generation
How times have changed. I used to have print outs in my filing cabinet with virus removal guides from all the various times I contracted digitally transmitted diseases online.
That's how we all learned it back then. Shear necessity.
Most boomers were too far into old age to learn it effectively. X and Z were raised in it. Now the tech has changed dramatically and you don't need anywhere near the skill anymore, there's a lot of younger generation that have no clue again. They can run the shit out of an iPad though.
