Generally no, given that Windows and Linux use different executable formats. That being said, you can still spread infected files around -- that is, if you download an infected file under linux, when you try to open it under windows, it'll infect your windows install. That being said, Windows XP should be banned from any form of external communications -- it's quite dead and forgotten by Microsoft. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJaLz9TAAoJEI4R3fMSeaKBOfIH/3Tkpl+JcIx4lMe/MvnxcrZw ehhxqkRNlBsYEbUAB0RLsn080rxYCSSDH049RdjZfmiouDGpLL/4YOhQb/Clg8dv 0Tnm5FViOZfNukYPO+9yHkVNgrhwI4T5a9FcnhH84xM1xFQODHxXGyc5q1/ZZiH7 hbSXqWUMzCZMmg5du41LaOvlK6s3NLN+keIpseLU0v4m0NWlrxMnI7CB+1d9KgNk VZFmRiV8qtRbS2s7w9NzwxYop1j2/aN04+wtMQvQHYJfMF45kVchaSp/LuINKCH8 /BAeOJ+nrg2v40CQPQEsHBI6gTFgpu0AzPii2YmgsPDS+Fr0C63UxwWglziBcE0= =p04g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
