to delete some files, it might fail for files that belong to root, but the least the virus can do is wipe your home directory, which is bad enough.
This is exactly what I was wondering : Is it possible in wine to tell that a dosdevice symlink should be used as a read only drive ? I'm always afraid to use wine with unknown software. The ideal dosdevices configuration for me would be : c: the ~/.wine/c_drive (read / write) x: (or whathever) /tmp (read / write) z: (or whathever) the root / (read ONLY) In that situation I would know that using wine is 100% safe. The only risk would be for files in ~/.wine/c_drive and this is normal. And if I need to write somewhere from wine, I prefer manually symlink the folder where I want to write in /tmp Is it possible to do that ? If not I think it should be a primordial feature for security using wine. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
