Windows viruses through Wine

Running Windows viruses with Wine
It just isn’t fair that Windows users get all the viruses. I mean really, shouldn’t Linux users be in on the fun as well? Well… thanks to the folks running the Wine project, Linux users can “catch the virus bug” too — sort of.
Linux just isn’t user-friendly when it comes to viruses. You have to work to find and run them. It doesn’t happen automatically as it does with Windows. The GNU/Linux folks really should improve this glaring discrepancy.
