It seems unlikely that you'd be infected, but there's really no way to know
*for certain* that you're not. Did you turn it off in time? How would you know?

In such a case would there be a possiblity of malware infection?

If you've got a current copy of NIS 07, then you can update to NIS 08 for free, FYI. The link is
