Life is an extraordinarily long concatenation of luck and coincidence.

Also just to be picky, technically the malware the op reported is not a virus, there are very few true viruses around today, more often than not they're trojan/rootkit/worm/spyware hybrids.

I've actually had that happen on a pre-SP2 machine. I got infected by several nastiest in the time it took to download and install an AV suite.
It just doesn't happen on post-SP2 machines though, Microsoft have improved the security of Windows immensely since those days.
