With a virulence approaching hate, yes (Windows 9x and NT machines networked
via Chameleon-NFS were my intro to Windows networking).
Want to watch Explorer go BOOM on opening a folder? Play with permissions on
the Unix NFS host for a folder, then connect to it over Chameleon NFS. If the
permissions aren't exactly write, Explorer crashes on loading the folder.

1) That was a different version of the Mac OS then the OS X
2) PC's still had more viri
3) A free little program by the name of Disinfectant pretty much put a
stop to new viruses on the Mac in the mid 90's. Sure there were still new
ones, but nothing like the late 80's/early 90's
You tended to see more widespread virus issues with Mac's since with
AppleTalk built in, Mac's tended to be networked far earlier then their PC
brethren (remember LANtastic or Windows for Warehouses, ARCnet, and paying for
TCP/IP on PC's?!?)
