The first one was a very long time ago and a vigorous complaint led to five star treatment for many years by the company responsible, the second and third were easily detected and dealt with. The first via a email from a trade client which I intercepted immediately, a second when overly curious about promises of magic SW for free on a rogue site and more recently ~5yrs ago by a trojan of unknown origin. Plenty of spivs in the anti-virus games, one of the worst being Norton! Only ever got infected three times in a couple of decades with 3.1 & 98.
