So in short I don't need to forward things to a Windows machine. Hence I don't have that problem. Sending it to someone else is a different problem, which I really don't think is mine.

Microsoft has been busy buying up a/v companies like RAV AntiVirus, sybari, and others. RAV was a popular Linux app, and Microsoft killed it dead. Another lesson in why the GPL matters.
