This issue has already been reported in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/22404 but it seems nobody sees how important is this problem:
I recently found that my flash disk was infected by the ¨New Folder.exe" and ¨scvhsot.exe¨ virus although I didn't use it in any Windows computer... In fact, I was surprised to discover that all the flash disks I put in my PC (where there is a Debian Lenny system) were infected. I think the system was also slower than it used to be.
I found the problem and reproduced it on a notebook with a fresh Hardy and wine installed: when you double-click on a .exe virus, the virus is automatically run by wine and it resides silently in memory, slowing the system and infecting all the removable media it finds...
I used to tell everybody that viruses aren't a problem with GNU/Linux, but it seems it's not so true!
So now, when I install an ubuntu system for a newbie, I 'm facing the dilemma of choosing between the risk of virus infections and the inability of running the windows softwares...
The solution would be simple but I tried and didn't find an easy way to disable the default behavior of nautilus to run clamtk instead of wine when a windows executable is clicked: it doesn't work...
