can 360 get a virus from computer?

I want to hook up my 360 to my laptop, but I think it may have a virus that I can't get rid of. It hasn't done anything to my computer, but McAfee found something one time that it couldn't fix - and I lost myWindows XP reinstallation CD.Can 360 get this virus if I do the Windows media center linkup between the two?can 360 get a virus from computer?
I highly doubt it.can 360 get a virus from computer?
Xbox's run their own sealed OS so the chances of a virus transferring are pretty much zero.
No. this is mainly because it is a windows virus and is programmed to take advantage of the windows coding. As far as i know the xbox doesnt run any code similar to windows except a alternative to directx 9 which most viruses dont even bother using because it doesnt play a big role in hacking. Im pretty sure there is a 360 virus, but u have a .0001% chance of playing and or meeting anyone who has any knowledge on how to create one. BTW u should take care of that virus before u get screwed over. if u need help getting rid of it let me know, and ill help u.
Thanks for the info and help, I'll try to get rid of it tonight...

Xbox doesn't use windows.
A virus would have to be written specifically for the xbox for such a thing to happen.
