One of my clients, who uses a PC, says she received a "worm" virus from an Apple computer via email. She suspects it was from my computer.
She's probably mistaken. The current virus doing the rounds fakes its from address using names of people harvested from the users mailbox, and web pages, so can appear to come from anyone.
However a virus check of my computer did not reveal any virus. My computer is also functioning normally. Last time I sent an email to her was on April 16 and her computer malfunctioned on April 24 - eight days later - and required a new hard drive.
Requiring a new hard drive is more the result of random mechanical/electrical failure than the action of a virus.
Is it possible to transmit a virus from a Mac to a PC without picking up the virus on the Mac?
Yes. If you specifically forward the virus to the PC user.
And is it possible to have a PC virus on a Mac and not know it?
Yes, but it's probably just sitting in your attachments folder and not doing anything as it can't be executed on a Mac.
