Yep!  I get viruses in my email every once in a while - click on it just for 
fun to watch it crash and read the output in console (except one time WINE 
kicked in and kludge my .wine dir.... opps!).  Even then it had no sys access 
and just stood there dumbfounded and useless - no root access, unlike 
anything windblows.  URL's/websites will stall the browser.  But 
a "killall -9" solves this problem along with a browser cache clearance.  And 
this is rare (usually a poorly written site or an attempt to 
redirect/highjack a win32 protocol).

Unless your running in root you have little to fear.

Cheers, Curtis.
