On my Linux system, the only system32 directory is here:

/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

So I don't understand how wine created c:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe outside of your user .wine directory, unless of course you changed the default wine configuration to tell it your c: drive is somewhere else.  But even then, you would still have to give the c: drive parent directory permissions for your non-root user to create it and write files to it if it were outside your user directory, I think.

But isn't doing rm -r ~/.wine so much easier than having a real windows system where you would have to figure out how to disable the virus to get into regedit (if booting into safe mode doesn't help), then manually edit the registry hoping you don't mess up and prevent your whole system from booting into anything other than BSOD, and then manually removing all the virus files hoping you don't remove important system files?
