[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1441999, member: 110816"] If a malware affects your Windows installation through Boot camp, that damage is contained within just Windows, the same is true for a VM installation of Windows. Neither of these would cause the malware to cross over to into OS X. Wine is 100% safe since it is more of a translation layer than a generic way of running Windows. If you need to be able to run Windows, Wine and Winebottler aren't probably what you want to look at unless you have to run one or two Windows applications that are supported by Wine. If you need to have a installation of Windows available (just for the class), my recommendation is to either purchase Parallels or VMWare Fusion or use the freely available VirtualBox and create a virtual machine into which you install Windows..
