Re: [TCLUG:4972] Viruses, Windows and linux.

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

Well.. it depends on the kind of virus.. i doubt a MBR virus could do
anything in wine.. nor a dos only virus.  if you are running MS office..
you could get macro virus's.. there are other kinds of windows virus's but
i have personaly never seen them

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
