Lei:

That would be fine, but what about the other UNIXes and MacOSX?  I don't 
want to attempt a test to see if a Windows virus will affect my Mac.  
Again, we have to make our user base aware that Windows viruses will run 
under Wine and that the results can be disasterous.  They should 
practice good computer security, to include scanning any and all files 
before using them with Wine.
