It's even easier than that. The free VMWare player product will run virtual machines in Windows and Linux, and they have a large number of pre-built appliances (Linux OS pre-packaged as a virtual machine) available for download. If you have a good download speed you can have a running virtual machine on your Intel desktop in less than 30 minutes and no installation issues to go through. Running Windows in a virtual machine in Windows or Linux is actually a pretty safe way to run Windows, and if there's any corruption or virus infection in the VM you can delete it and replace it with a copy of your master. However - I have a RedHat Linux system that I used for developing PXE boot scripts and it has no real purpose right now, so if someone can explain what is needed to recreate the problem I'll give it a try. I don't normally use ClamAV in Linux systems so while it's installed, it's not a production system. I can set up a VMWare image on it for redistributing. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
