A valid point, but I'm not aware of any existing Windows malware which targeted
Wine environment.

But since you are right I think a new feature request should be opened sounding

"Wine needs to provide a true sandboxing functionality".

If it's advisable I'll open one.

Because I'm quite sure many people will greet this idea wholeheartedly.
