What we noticed pretty fast was that at least 3 windows boxes were infested with a bunch of malware, and trying to infect each other over network shares. The virus alert messages popping up made playing impossible. The obvious solution: Disable the virus scanners.
I think that qualifies you for the Darwin award!
Can you try Christoph's ClamAV integration, http://www.christoph-probst.com/soc2006/wine/ and see if it would have prevented the infection?

Pfiew... I think I'll set up a qemu vm for further tests like this. I'll give those patches a try if I've time after having done my university work for next week. For now I need that system to get some work done.
I've run clamav over my whole hard disk, and it seems that appart of wine and windows nothing was infected. (Yeah, I can't be sure until I flattened the whole system, I know). My brothers winxp seems clean now too. Usually I format and reinstall infected windows computers, but his device is a school notebook with a strange partitioning setup and the stupid recovery cds would kill that. So I have to rely on virus scanners removing the viruses and telling that they are clean.
I tried running an infected file with CrossOver before I started the cleanup, and it found the virus and refused to run the file :-) .
