[Scottish] I have a virus

[Jack Donaghy]

I think it's pretty safe to assume that if it's infected your  
friend's computer (assuming they run Windows) then it won't have  
affected you. Besides I'm not really sure if there are that many  
Linux viruses in the wild, and one's that hide in .doc files would  
probably target Windows users.
