Very unlikely. But if you have shared folders be VERY careful with the content in those.

It's been asked before here on the forums. There is some information you want to read. Please use the search, as per Forum Posting Guide. The Google search trick is the fastest. Searching for just 'virus' should get you the info you want. I'm locking this one.
