I would assume so. Since navis have typings, viruses are bound to pick up on them - since viruses can be used as aides in running certain types of machinery to some extent, they would have been made or adapted for a specific purpose and thus a specific type.
And some form from random data, so they pick up...whatever is available. Sometimes navis get in over their head. And like people, they have their own agendas. Sometimes navis come into conflict. Many battles aren't regulated, as you'd expect. Some end badly. [ Is he heavily implying that some viruses picked up their typing data from dead navis? Yes he is.
He shakes his head; he doesn't seem to be angry. ]
It's natural to be curious, especially when you're in the process of learning. It's only expected that you'd ask.
Oh. Should I - I mean, you're sure I'm not going to hurt anything by keeping these two? I don't want to mess things up before I have full control over what's going on.
[ Afterwards, sure, but not immediately. ]
Okay, okay ... I still want to know sometime. Eventually.
They're perfectly safe - and they can't do much harm, in any case. The worst you'd get is a minor disturbance, if one of them bumps into something and knocks it over - since they're physical objects. Anything that would cause them to multiply, consume something important or cause damage with electronics is something I've overridden.
They'll be good learning tools, anyway. And since they don't need much, they're low-maintenance, and portable.
[ He's nothing if not meticulous about it. Safety is a very big priority when it comes to keeping viruses under control; he can't afford to be careless when leaving them with someone else. ]
Eventually. [ He appreciates that topic being left alone. Some people would have persisted. He's thankful for that small favour. ]
Hopefully they'll be good company to you. Once they've become accustomed to you, they'll probably be fairly affectionate - they're already warming up to you. And if you introduce them to your brother, it's likely they'll imprint on him as well.
[ Someday, he'll hear all of it. It's not a happy story, and it's a convoluted one - but it explains much about his bitterness and who he is. ]
Since I've talked at you far too much, I'll leave you for now. Please try to get a little more rest. I know it's hard to sleep when you're thinking so much, but being tired doesn't help your functioning.
[ He gives him a little nod, before plugging out of Hiro's communicator and disappearing back to his own. ]

[ And he has to wince a bit at that, guiltily. ]
Sorry. I'm not trying to pry.

[ He touches the the Fishy again gently. The other topic ... well, he can let that drop for now. ]
