"But no, you wouldn't want to run a Windows antivirus program in Linux. Not at all, at all."

In fact, not only will it probably NOT work anyway - I can in explain in 50 pages or more - if it runs AT ALL it will bog the machine down so slow that almost nothing else will run. WINE is an Emulater - the name means WINdows Emulator - it does not run the code directly, but runs each Windows instruction by running a small subprogram for each instruction - can be MASSIVELY slow.

Besides the viruses for Windows mostly CAN NOT RUN on Linux - the 'kernel' is incompatible, as well as where the data structures are stored in memory, as well as the directories where the files are stored on disk are incompatible by name structure.

I won't bother trying to help you remove the Windows programs, as the step of installing a new version will overwrite them probably .
