I've never had it come back on lenses that I've done as long as several years ago. My theory is that the Windex acts as both a cleaner and disinfectant. As long as the lens is stored properly after cleaning the fungus shouldn't reappear. Damp, stagnant air and darkness are the main factors in fungus spore germination. A cool, dry place should prevent this.
