Default Keyloggers and other bad stuff.

It's natural to be nervous when used to using Windows, but maybe someone could address these issues:

1) Linux is known for being virus/malware/spyware resistant. Is it still that way? Are there Linux keyloggers that can be installed unknowingly from the internet.

2) I'm running World of Warcraft on Wine. Does Wine have the same susceptibilities that Windows has? If it does, since I'm not running anything but WOW on Wine, is it possible for keyloggers to cross from Linux into Wine?

3) Does the Linux firewall protect applications running in Wine?

4) Is there a good virus/keylogger program for Linux?

Thanks.
