On a lark the Crossover guys have actually TRIED to get Windows viruses
running in Crossover/WINE. They failed :-) To run properly or even at
all a Windows virus really needs an actual Windows installation, as
found on a real PC or running under virtualisation on a Mac.

FYI: for more info on what CRossover/WINE is see
