VB (and VMware, and KVM) are entirely different from Wine. Perhaps you
need to understand the concept of a virtual machine, which Wine is not.
The risks of running Windows under one of these environments are no
greater than those of running it on a separate physical machine.
Naturally I run AV software on my Windows VMs, but I'm completely
sanguine about any of the nasties getting through to the Linux host.
