Is WINE safe to install on Mac Mojave?

Dear All,

Is WINE safe to install on Mac Mojave? Will I have to install a virus protection plan if I install WINE? Will it interfere with anything else on my Mac?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.14

I have the lite version for Mac, Auto Painter Express, and it works fine, but it written for Mac, not Windows, so no need for WINE or CrossOver. I would like to get the full, pro version, however, which is written for Windows and requires WINE. DAP (Dynamic Auto Painter) for MAC is a self contained WINE build of Windows DAP PRO and HOME -- I assume that means that the WINE software is already bundled with the DAP software and that there is no need to install WINE as a separate download, but I don't know that for certain.

Yes I can see no downside here. You are only running limited apps., not like you are opening yourself up to Windows vulnerabilities, so no antivirus.
