If you don't need that file feel free to remove it, it looks like an installer file for something you've installed.
To remove it from a terminal, just write:
rm /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/Installer/f4eb.msi

Also, Windows viruses(vira?) do not work on Linux, so you don't have anything to fear for your computer.
