1- Indeed, i'm wondering if a virus infects the
"windoz" installed one vpc can causes damage to
hardware like it does sometimes on "windoze".
Theoretically it
could, but there is no actual reported case it has.
A VPC is a file that runs under the VPC application, it would be *very difficult* for a Windows virus to damage the hardware. Very few viruses can physically damage hardware therefore they are unlikely to damage the Mac HDD which is the only hardware it could in theory attack as all the other Windows VPC hardware is emulated.
Note that a virus can attack a VPC in the same way that a virus can attack a real PC.
2- iFelix, what do you think about having Norton for
Mac installed please...
It won't protect your VPC.
Personally I think virus protection is essential if you need it.
Personally I don't run virus protection on any of my Macs, but then I don't forward files or open attachments or go to dodgy websites.
On any PC that comes with Norton, I usually uninstall it as soon as possible before it drives me nutty.
I avoid using IE and Outlook Express on the PC and again don't forward files or open attachments or go to dodgy websites.
