I see. Then if we kept all email, browsers, address books etc. out of the Windows layer, then we should be fairly immune?

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...
