No... A virus is just a program like any other..
If you are running win98 inside linux, and windows runs a virus, it can do anything it could do if windows was running on its own. The only difference is that it can't trash your linux install. can still trash the windows install though.. As I said, a virus is a program, and if a program couldn't run in win4lin windows it would be useless... regards Franki http://htmlfixit.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Anne Wilson Sent: Saturday, 19 July 2003 10:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Adobe Acrobat on Linux?

Personally I play safe and never access the Internet from the windows layer, though. Anne
