- we can at least document how to use clamav with wine,

- we can warn on startup if we detect that clamav
is not present.
- we can try to make it easy to use free virus scanners
with wine. Some ideas: http://www.burghardt.pl/2007/11/wine-with-on-access-clamav-scanning/ http://www.christoph-probst.com/soc2006/wine/
What about working with Linux distros to set up proper SELinux / AppArmor profiles for Wine?
Lei:
That would be fine, but what about the other UNIXes and MacOSX? I don't want to attempt a test to see if a Windows virus will affect my Mac. Again, we have to make our user base aware that Windows viruses will run under Wine and that the results can be disasterous. They should practice good computer security, to include scanning any and all files before using them with Wine.
