Never say never when it comes to viruses. A number of years ago, I was taking a class at the local community college online. At the intro meeting one of the students asked about getting a virus or something like that, and the instructor stated that we would be uploading our documents as Microsoft Word documents and that they couldn't get a virus in a Word document. A few days later, the first MS Word macro virus was found. I thought it was rather humorous.
