Quentin PÂRIS	Windows viruses can be theorically run with POL, but it will not be as annoying on windows for several reasons : - Some "features" of the virus will not work - Virus will not be able to infect your linux system. It will infect your wineprefix, which can be deleted very easily

Dr Phil	And the most important thing, if you are using Windows you could get a virus by just surfing the web. Any such virus will not work on PlayOnLinux. (Using any linuxprogram can not give you windows-viruses, for example, you can't get windows-viruses by surfing the web with firefox.)
