For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

That wouldn't remove the Wine prefix, i. e. the virtual C:\ drive where the virus most likely lives. Uninstalling Wine wouldn't do shit since it only removes files that your user (and thus wine) can't even write to, and if a virus manages to get around that you have bigger problems.
