I have to admit that I'm curious about the whole thing.  I wasn't sure 
if there was a dual-boot and WINE was used to run a program in the 
Windows directory that activated the malware OR if it was something that 
installed itself via the webbrowser from a site someplace.

I flippantly told an Ubuntu/Fedora user yesterday that 'WINE has 
arrived!  It won't be long before we can run EVERYTHING on Linux like 
Windows does!'
