Means exactly "scanning windows exe files under linux environment." For example, in an enterprise set up, an anti-virus is may be installed on the mail server which will scan for virus before mails are delivered to users. You are right about (except for wine) malicious exe not harming linux but you can still use linux to scan those files before you pass them around. SB -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
