Wine/VM viruses

If I install windows xp/7 in VM and I get viruses (for windows, of course), does my main system (netrunner) may run it? I know that linux shouldnt run it, but what about wine? I think wine could run viruses.
Thx.

Here are some good answers:

Ok, thank you. If I uninstall wine and use programs for windows only with VM i’ll be safer, right?

There is no 100% safety. But a VM running with whatever system should not affect your host system (there are possibilities but rarely used by non government virus coders :P)

You need every thing protected.
Windows has many places for hackers to get into.
That is why hackers from all over the world are wanting in our computers.
