In reality, the answer to this question is YES.  The reason being that no matter how hard we try, EVERY program has a bug in some form or another.  On average, 1 new bug is discovered in software every 6 hours, sometimes its every 6 minutes, sometimes its every 6 seconds.

New bugs are always found.  But as long as you keep up to date, you'll be fine :).
They were asking about viruses not bugs... and yes someone you know may send you a file but it may not actually be them sending it, it may be the virus. So yes it can happen just be sure you know what the file is and who the person is
