According to my understanding (everyone else correct me if I'm wrong) but, the answer is yes, yes, and yes. If you sent her a file with a PC virus attached, it can infect her computer. You may also not be aware of it, since a PC virus won't affect you at all(unless you have virtual PC). You may not pick it up if (1) your virus checker is out of date, or (2) it is not set to check your email for viruses(in the case of email viruses). And yes, it is possible to act as a "carrier" and transmit PC viruses, especially if you are in the habit of forwarding mail.
