Running Virus Program on Linux Operating system using Wine

'Wine' is a greate program to run your fevarate windows program while still using Linux Operating System. 'Wine' is a individual Open Source Software for running Windows applications on other operating systems, specially on Linux. Other OS like BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X also support wine to run programs which was developed for run on Microsoft windows Operating System.

Someone has post a questen on Another Linux Dristro Ubuntu Bangladesh Mailing list about 'Wine' and virus code. Mr. Ashiqur Rahman Angel post a answre for that question. His writing on 'Running Virus Program on Linux Operating system using Wine is quoted bellow:

It ll depends, if the virus uses a kernel issue, changes are small
it'll work on Wine (as the change of having exactly the same mistake in
both windows kernel code and wine code is small. But if it's
using bugs of the program being run than it might work just the same as
on a real windows environment.

Using a fake windows directory is encouraged as Wine might otherwise
have troubled with windows registeries being filled with unknown trash;
also by using one or multiple fake windows directories, you can avoid
loosing any real information caused by virus activity. Then, if you got
infected, you'd just remove the infected directories and grab the fresh
copy. Overall, it doesnt effect ur Linux system at all.
