Unfortunately you need Wine and SirCam for it to work, LOL!

From Slashdot:-

The SirCam virus runs properly under WINE, with a few omissions.
It does not properly create registry entries to make itself
launch at boot. Also, it did not e-mail itself out to others, but
that is partly due to not having Outlook installed under WINE
at the time of testing. Thus I am not sure if this part of the
program works correctly or not. What does work correctly is
extracting the embedded document into your temporary folder.

Those guys at WINE sure did a good job! I'm not sure how far I want my
Windows environment emulated, though. Being able to run Dreamweaver would
send me into floods of ecstasy. (Note to Ed: metaphorically)
