Sorry, I was thinking more in terms of directly harming the user's system,
not botnets etc. but you're right: a lot of malicious things can be
accomplished by an unprivileged user. Requiring AV scans would certainly
help, but if a user really wants to run a program, they have the ability to
ignore the AV and run it anyways. Maybe ignoring wine, and just sticking to
finding repo alternatives would be a safer bet.
