Risks/Disadvantages associated with Wine
According to many articles like this one, it says that windows is more vulnerable to virus.
I recently installed wine on my Ubuntu to run some windows programs by
sudo apt-get install wine
It when I looked into the directory structure I got to know that the windows program regedit.exe has been installed along with other simple windows programs.
As per my knowledge some of the windows viruses give network access to registry making windows vulnerable for attacks.
I am worried that installing wine would make the system vulnerable. Is it so? Are there any solutions to this problem?
sudo
/etc. (And newer versions of wine and/or the viruses are probably more capable, anyway)
