It ll depends, if the virus uses a kernel issue, changes are small it'll work on Wine (as the change of having exactly the same mistake in both windows kernel code and wine code is small. But if it's using bugs of the program being run than it might work just the same as on a real windows environment.
Using a fake windows directory is encouraged as Wine might otherwise have troubled with windows registeries being filled with unknown trash; also by using one or multiple fake windows directories, you can avoid loosing any real information caused by virus activity. Then, if you got infected, you'd just remove the infected directories and grab the fresh copy. Overall, it doesnt effect ur Linux system at all. 2009/7/20 I am aero <[email protected]> > উবুন্টুতে থাকাকালীণ পেন ড্রাইভে থাকা newfolder.exe অথবা যো কোন ভাইরাস > যদি wine দিয়ে রান করাই তাহলে কি ঘটতে পারে? > -- Angel http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Angel 0DF8 3CD4 AFE3 68C6 2CDA 9F17 14B8 1A15 E5F7 73C2 Fedora -- Freedom² and rapid innovation Sent from Dhaka, Bangladesh Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/marie_von_ebnereschenbac.html> - "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day." -- Ubuntu Bangladesh | http://ubuntu.linux.org.bd [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
