--- Comment #3 from Roderick Colenbrander thunderbird2k@gmx.net 2008-01-31 15:41:23 --- There is nothing around that prevents windows viruses from working on wine. We try to be like windows in every regard. In a few ways we are more safe as windows viruses can't gain root permissions and perform more nasty things.
Second if you are worried you can remove the z: link, so that viruses won't see all of the system and only the wine c: drive.
You can run anti-spyware tools or even a virus scanner on wine (some work). Sorry but there is nothing which we can do about. Further some people are planning to add a way to edit run/runonce settings without having to resort to regedit.
