There is an answer on the Wine FAQ. Wine can and does run Windows virus malware. Some of it is pretty nasty and the situation gets worse if you are running Wine as a privileged user (for MacOSX this can mean a system administrator.) For AV software for the Mac, I would use the same thing I use for Linux, Clam Antivirus (CLAMAV.) There is a gui frontend for Macs and it is kept up-to-date. There are threads on this topic that run at length here in the forums. They might make good reading. James
