Sure it does!! Have one of your windows friends over to your house, and run a
virus scanner over some of them! Panic starts with the first hit. I've got one 
special directory that I keep for such things. Better yet, try running
something like Happy99.exe from the command line.. Oops, Darn, I get a win32
error..
