Wine + Steam = How safe?
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:02 pm
Hi everyone. I'm thinking on running Steam via PlayonLinux since only one game I have is ported so far. I would just run Steam, no programs, nothing else, just Steam.
My question would be if Wine is an open door for network attacks. I will not run any .exe files except for Steam itself. I will use Wine just to play Steam games. But I'm affraid WIne is an open door for network attacks, something like a friend getting my IP and trying to invade my machine
PLUS: I scan my machine with avast and clamtk 3x a week, and with Kaspersky Rescue CD every Sunday
