    "Wine" stands for "Wine is not an emulator".
    It's similar though - its a tool that allows you to run many Windows applications on Linux, and should be part of about every major Linux distribution out there, just look into your packet manager.

    But: Spybot-S&D on Wine does only protect the Wine environment, so if you don't even have Wine, installing it just for Spybot-S&D does not make much sense Also, a lot of the regular Windows malware would not even work on Wine, and since your browser is outside of Wine, there's yet another reduction of risk.
