Very unlikely. There are almost no successful Linux viruses.
A hard drive developing a bad sector could produce an effect a user could potentially confuse with a virus.
But your friend down the hall went from a very safe OS to the most vulnerable in the world.
I've never understood why people put up with Windows, an operating system with all the security of swiss cheese.
