   LOL. Its so funny watching you make a tit of yourself. You use cutepdf   
   as an example and then forget that and think its the foundation for your   
   clueless wine.   
      
   SW that "tricks" is as likely on WIndows as it is on Linux as it is on   
   OSX assuming similar user numbers. See Android for details about   
   virs/trojans/adware scams.
