Clarification, pa-leeze, someone(s).

Ok, if one Deletes the Files for windows, one has to back them up anyway so as to reinstall the files in both Windows and Ubuntu, unless one wants to get rid of Windows then one reformats it out..right?

But in a dual-boot environment, files are acessable in either or both if one has saved them to Ybuntu.

So how does what avoid picking up the virus when one already should scan the files for virus before backup and how would the virus(es) live in the environment of the Linux kernal if they were written to Windows?

And doesn't Ubuntu support Word for Windows? Or do text files have to be saved (and maybe reformated) in OfficeOrg?

DOO
