   I have never seen, or heard of, a windows virus actually succeed in    
   what it is meant to do, however, I expect that some viruses will    
   actually do something on OS/2. I would not be too surprised to find    
   out that some system crashes, and/or, Browser crashes, are caused by    
   various viruses attempting to do their thing.   
      
   The above scenario could be caused by a windows machine executing a    
   virus that spreads infected files to every open network share that it    
   can find. That doesn't mean that OS/2 will actually run the files    
   (which may be possible if they are run by ODIN, or the like), but they   
   still take up room on the disk, and if any windows machine accesses    
   them, the windows machine will probably be infected.
