It's probably not a concern since NASA is still running DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 on the space station. ;)

(National) Computer virus hits ISS, should NASA worry? It was confirmed yesterday by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that they discovered a computer virus that has the ability to steal passwords on a laptop that is aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The virus was first discovered by Symantec back on August 27, 2008, with the virus being called W32.Gammima.AG. It impacts systems running Windows 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, XP, and Windows Server 2003. At this point though, it does not seem that there is much of a threat to NASA directly from the virus. The report states that the virus is very easy to contain and remove, and can cause minimal damage.
