Does this require antivirus software since it installs Windows things?

Beth

Hi there, if you use CrossOver Games (for LOTRO) do you need a specific kind of antivirus software, such as one for Windows to scan the Windows content? Thanks

Hi,

No, most all windows malware expects/requires a 'real' windows
installation and windows kernel running ... neither of which is
present in crossover/wine =)

Cheers!

Getting Around

CodeWeavers

We're rebels. We're misfits. But mostly, we're software liberators. And we're very, very good at what we do. We have to be. Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one. We invented CrossOver software - a unique approach to cross-platform compatibility that does not require dual-boot or another OS license. We launched PortJump to help app and game developers broaden their market beyond Windows® users. And we launched ExecMode to help organizations solve really ugly technical challenges.
