It would be rather easy to disinfect WINE. All one needs to do is:

1. Keep a backup of the .wine folder with all apps installed (and all you have to do is copy it everytime you install an important app).
2. Delete the infected .wine folder
3. Either go to the menu entry to config wine (which will create a new fresh copy or .wine) or copy the .wine backup and rename it to .wine

Also... never run WINE as root.
