Yes, very good point. It's important to perform a comprehensive virus
scan on all the hard drives on the PC ASAP. Keep the anti-virus
definitions up to date. If you're connected to the Internet for
significant amounts of time then invest in a firewall as well (or at
least make sure the Win XP firewall is enabled).

Hope you get things sorted out.
