Linux and the Smile.D Virus keeps us Smiling

    If my dual boot machine infects my Linux box from a windows run script the fault still lies with Windows, not Linux/BSD/Solaris or whatever*nix I am running.

    Then again I dont dual boot. I have 2 machines, 1 for windows and 1 for Linux and so far neither have been infected.
