That is not the latest nVidia driver, and the 185 drivers in particular had a bug that could be triggered by Wine. It was fixed in later versions of the driver; upgrade.

Module Address Debug info Name (28 modules)

I didn't notice this earlier. Googling says pfsvgae.sys is a trojan. Delete ~/.wine and start over. It's probably a good idea to run a virus scan on any directories your user has write access to.
I deleted the .wine directory. deinstalled wine and reinstalled it. scanned all directories but if I install spybot for example th trojaner horse still exists

Where is it finding it, and why don't you just delete that file?

So I think the trojaner will not be started. Could that be correct?
Yeah, it probably wouldn't boot. Since removing the wineprefix didn't remove the trojan, perhaps you could just delete the directory where it finds this thing (while making sure all Wine apps are closed; use wineserver -k for that). Or try a different virus scanner, ClamAV works in Linux so it doesn't use Wine anyway.
ok, I scanned the wine directory etih the temp directory of my user in wine with clamav but virus was found. I installed the latest clamav version but if I start anno this file (pfsvgae.sys) is created in the temp directory.
Yesterday I installed a new version ob Ubuntu 10.04 so I removed all the data from the disk because I thought the trojan was located in the boot secotrs of the hdd. So i used the following command (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda).
Before I started clamav I killed the current wine server.
Then I copied this file into a dumo virtual machine where windows xp is isntalled and scanned this file (pfsvgae.sys) with AntiVir and no trojan was found, too.

Maybe it is no trojan, I think.
Or you're reinstalling it. Is your copy of the game legitimate? Are you using any no-cd cracks? What else are you installing in Wine?
As to whether it's really malware, I'm just going by the results from googling pfsvgae.sys.

Not possible, unless you ran the trojan in Windows. Wine can't access the boot sector, and since the trojan itself is written for Windows it would never know how to get around any security issues in Linux (and it probably couldn't find the boot sector, anyway).

Yes I googled for this maleware, too. Ona german page I found that this file could be maleware if it is located in temp folder. So 54% of these files are maleware. I also scanned this file with antivir scanner and nothing was found. I also use original Anno1503 CD's without any crack other such other things.
No other programs and games are installed yet. It's really strange.
