So long as you are reasonably happy with your current anti-virus and anti-malware setup, given what has occurred - although no damage done .

there are viruses etc for linux, but they often require you to be stupid enough to type in the root password and give it full access to the system (and files).

EDIT: like the above post explains

The soup was exellent the bread was great. Coming in from the Gym on a freezing night to a hot meal waiting is one of my favourite things.

One day I will tell the legend of how I got a windows trojan to run in wine to see what would happen. Nothing much actualy did. for a start it could not find outlook to send itself on with (and the computer was not on a network anyway). I cant even remember what trojan it was, it was a couple of years ago.
