What happens if I open a XP virus under linux?
 
I get alot of viruses, but what happens if I open a virus?


Well... If I run "cedega virusname.exe" will something happen?

Opinions/facts, here...


THANKS

Probably not much.

Not a lot except that you will infect either your fake Windows drive or your actual Windows drive
