    Does anyone have an idea what would happen if one runs a Windows virus with Wine ?

      Can only access Wine’s directory not your actual Linux files

        Nope. With a stock wine prefix it can access anything you have the permission to access. Your FS root is mapped to the Z:\ drive by default.

          I suppose if there was a wine config that had an appropriate dosdevice setup for the boot sector then it’d be able to write to it, but wine doesn’t need to boot so I don’t think that would do anything.

          They simply can’t because its designed to do that on windows not on Linux because they are different. Plus use ClamAV and you should be good. (I am not an expert in this)
