            Bug ID: 47627
           Summary: Lightweight real-time background malware scanner.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: jebeld17 at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

With Wine being a Win32 compatibility later for Linux, it's safe to assume that
some - even though not most - known viruses and malware may be able to run in
Wine and affect files and data in the current Wine prefix, posing a possible
risk to users. 

As a precaution, Wine really should contain a small, lightweight anti-malware
service to run in the background when the Wine prefix is in use to help find
and neutralize potential threats as they happen and safeguard user data.
