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.
