Not necessarily. Obviously I can see where you are going with that but I have seen cases where very annoying viruses pop up messages on screen telling you that you have been infected with a virus, and I have even seen one that renames nearly every icon on your desktop to "Infected" and then back to the original about 10 minutes later

Weird
