> My question is: can a windows virus - like Mytob.GH for instance, or any > other .bat or .exe virus install itself on such a system ? no, most methods that virii use to install themself (get the system to run them on each reboot) are being ignored by wine. But nonetheless, the virus can be run once and can cause damage. But there have been recent efforts to integrate a virus scanner into wine to stop harmful code from being executed. The only reference I could find though is this: http://wiki.winehq.org/ClamAntiVirusIntegration?highlight=%28clam%29 maybe somebody knows more about the topic?
