Cedega and Windows Viruses and Spyware


I am thining about buying cedega. I am going to use Linspire and SuSE. If pay for it just once can I use it on both distros? Can I use it on every distro? Can I use it on every computer in my house?

But my main problem is. If I get cedega won't it let windwos spyware and viruses onto my linux computer?

No it won't. I'm half-asleep so searching probably wouldn't work but a quick Google for wine windows virus should return the page I'm thinking of. On Newsforge, someone tried to infect a Linux machine with Windows viruses and fails miserably.
