| Just when you thought Windows and Linux don't mix, a security company
|has identified what seems to be the first virus with cross-platform
|abilities. Will Winux wreak havoc? So far, it doesn't appear to be much
|of a threat. By Michelle Delio.


Not seen the URL, but since many scripting languages are available on number
of platforms, a cross platform virus/worm is not impossible. The perl is
most  *promising* because of its power and availability on most platforms
and OS.
