Yes, you probably picked up Scores at your campus lab. You should inform them asap. Scores does not mess with the creation and modification dates and times. If the last modification date on your Scrapbook and Notepad files was 10/11/88, 8:10 pm, then this is almost surely when your system was infected. The system on the lab machine you used was probably infected. You ran an application on your floppy on this system, and the infection spread to your application. You then took the floppy home and ran the infected application on your machine, which in turn infected your system. Nasty, isn't it? I'm sending Mr. Johnson more detailed info privately.
