Not directly, no. The virus program won't run on Linux, so you might receive one but it won't be able to infect the machine or deliver any other payload.
This is true to a point, but be aware that Windows Virus can cause problems when using programs such as samba, wine or other software that provide services for Windows. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
