I have personally never heard of a Kindle virus nor have I ever heard of a kindle spreading any virus to a Mac or a PC in any way. The troubble is that the kindle does not use any version of Mac OS or Windows, therefore a virus needs to be specifically written for a Kindle and this has not happned as yet.
