Thank goodness for Linux, I just got an infected email from a windows user. 
Since I am running Linux, I went in and looked at the header and tracked down 
the virus to the sender. It gave me the senders name, his computer name in 
the form computername.domain.com, his ip address on his lan and the address 
of the mail server that is sending the emails out. 

Now for the stupid question, I am tempted to run the executable file using 
wine under linux, but I'm afraid of what it might do as this machine is a 
dual boot and wine knows where my windowspartitions are. 

Am i better off just leaving well enough alone? Is it dangerous to run this 
executable?

Regards,


Charlie
