X-Ray Mac Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Wasn't sure if I should put this here, but it's Windows so I hope so.. Anyways, I'm running Windows XP Professional via Parallels on my Mac.. (needed software for school, and they only use windows.. lame) and I was wondering.. I don't have any virus protection on yet, but say something were to happen where something got in, would it effect my Mac OS too or just the windows one?

macgirl Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just Windows, if you have Shared Folders, files in there could be infected too, but they don't affect Mac OS X.

Ayanami Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 No, but if you have an infected Windows file on your Mac, and send it to a PC, you could pass along the infection. Wont harm your computer though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68650-windows-in-parallels/#findComment-495542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
