I don't know how virus's would effect PBW player PC's, but I would suspect that they could.

PLR files shouldn't be able to be infected.
Ofcourse if they are called .PLR.EXE or something that might be an issue.
But as noone tries to open PLR files that shouldn't be a problem, the only way they are opened is supposedly by the program as it runs the turns.
So an upload virus is not propable.

A download virus is possible in the packed ZIP files but that should propably spread to all turns that are sent out and so be detected very soon, as alot of people uses good AV programs.

So to avoid PBW for fear of virus is overreacting.

(Yes, I see that you aren't advicing people to avoid PBW, I'm just clarifying)
