This is funny!! I have till date (in the last 10 years) never seen a virus file replicating on Linux!! Are you sure it came from the pen-drive and not were already present?? Because, by logic and theory, the executable on the pen-drive CANNOT execute on Linux. A windows executable CANNOT run on Linux. There is something fishy here!
