I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING!

Also what about the thing you should do with an infected disc, throw it in the trash, or send it to be destroyed so the virus or fungus doesn't leap from the trash can back into another cd.

Its like if you don't take viruses seriously it usually comes back to haunt you, Imagine if no one took AIDS serious we would all be dead, same thing with a cd virus take it serious or spread it? I personally would throw the disc in the trash Image every time. Like I did, but what if while touching something of mine it decided to live their, I could still have it passing it to every disc in my house potentially.

Maybe I should call the Rare/Exotic disease clinic and report I have a case of CD eating virus can you come prescribe it with something, or put it down, and disinfect my entire house and contents, not likely Image

Man, that happened to a BodyWorks CD-ROM I had owned quite a while ago. I pretty much freaked out. The CD was in a pile of other CDs and it was the only one affected. I eventually got rid of it, as I thought it would take out the other CDs.

Those CDs were also in the basement, and it tends to get somewhat humid there at times. I pretty much stopped storing my CDs down there.
