Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone knew, if I boot knoppix off of a cd and just use it to browse the web, am I able to get a windows virus since windows is installed on the HD?

I wanted to use an old laptop and boot knoppix off cd to log into bank accounts and such since there really aren't any linux viruses, but was wondering if I could still get viruses since windows is on the HD and I'm accessing the HD, or if windows needs to actually be running for windows viruses to function.


thanks.
