First of all, why did you open a file, which you obviously don't trust?
This is a very serious error. Same thing considers emails from unknown
senders.
I beleive that isn't security risk for you, but next time don't click
those viruses. If you want to know what kind of malware it was use for
example:
http://anubis.iseclab.org/
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
Maybe your client is configured to open win32 binaries in wine, which in
my opinion isn't very smart thing to do, because of these cases.
