I didn't even remove the write-protection and I'm always protecting disks containing original software.

So far, you seem to be the only person with this >problem -- better have a look at some of your programs on archive >(especially public domain software). I was quite sure that the virus is from TB. Can't be so now. So I haven't a clue where I've got the virus and how it came onto the TB disks. Sorry for alarming you, I just wanted to prevent harm. Thanks for your answers.
