Re: Simulating viruses with wine (this is totally serious;-)



using vmware might be a better option - it creates machines that are
completely separated from the rest of your system. if you trash the
virtual machine you can just blast the whole thing and be on your way

only problem with this is the hardware requirements for vmware are pretty
steep - it's slow on anything but a rocket
