Well, it has changed in some respects...However, I only needed to use it occasionally to check floppy disks (5 1/4") I got from others. But in those days personal computers were essentially stand alone entities.
I don't see that as a change, really. I know in those days the main threat was using an infected floppy, but that was also the main way files were transferred from PC to PC.

The point is, you needed to protect your machine from viruses then, and you do now. Anyone who thinks this is something new either wasn't around 15-20 years ago or was clueless then, too
