I got one, courtesy of Best Buy. Seriously, I brought in my laptop for repair and found the msblaster virus on it. Go figure.

Maybe they wanted to milk you for more money to repair the thing.

  Routers and a Good AV will save ya from heart ache and pain. o common sense will help to lol.
just a note for those who were infected couple of tips

1) Don't open mail with an attachment unless you are expecting it

2) Don't open spam

3) Turn the preview pane off in email program

4) Keep your av up to date

5) For the love of all that is good don't open any .scr file you got from an email

6) Oh yeah ( and yes i had a cus who did this ) Don't boot to a dos and type in format and hit enter twice.

follow these simple steps and you will live virus free!

I would not be suprised if they put it on there, intentionally. Best buy is a rip off.

The only thing I buy from there now are blank CD's and DVD's.

They probably wanted to pay you $50 for their anti-virus removal.

They probably hooked it up to the bench's LAN and another system that was infected hit your system since both were not patched.

actually, if you did this once a day, i think that would keep you pretty virus free.
