Btw, I don't think your system is open for Windows viruses just by installing wine. Typically wine has trouble running even legitimate programs made for Windows (since it still doesn't translate *all* features of Windows OS into Linux environment), let alone viruses which deliberately have "dirty" code and use quirks, bugs and holes of the Windows OS. Typically wine cannot emulate those bugs and holes so effectively as the original Windows :-) , so AFAIK viruses would typically fail to run under wine. Of course, YMMV. Also, you would need to be stupid enough to type "wine my-favorite-virus.exe" in the terminal to actually run the thing, I doubt it would run as automatically as in Windows... ;-) Then again, I might be wrong, I'm no expert on wine, just an occasional user.
