Sure, but my virus scanner only complained about the one or two instances

I would be astonished if any (and I mean _any_)
virus scanner would find a
legitimate virus on any media consumed by 8 bit computers.
certainly not live.
But, some PC viruses, such as "Stoned" (which was also modified slightly
and re-released as a wannabe for the NON-EXISTENT "Michelangelo") can be
dumb enough to try to write themselves to track 0 sector 1 of any disk in
a drive of the PC, disunirregardless of whether that disk is capable of
transmitting it.
