But the virus will be stuck in its wine prefix, right?
wine doesn't sandbox applications, so it could still cause harm
No, not necessarily. Wine programs usually have access to your home directory as a Windows drive (X: or Z: or similar). So do be careful
I mean it's probably possible to craft a Windows virus that targets Linux through Wine, but I don't think a generic Windows malware would do any damage on Linux.
