Hi all,
I find that I need to use Windows on my Mac Mini and to do this I plan to use VMware Fusion 3 coupled to Windows XP(SP3).
If I was using a Windows PC, I would simply install my choice of AV software and keep it updated. But this gets complicated for a newbie Maccer.
I have ClamX av installed on my Mac, mainly because I am on a mixed home network and my wife would castrate me if I managed to infect her beloved laptop. But here's the thing, does the ClamX av on my Mac also do its AV protection job on the Windows XP section of the VMware install or do I need to install a totally separate AV programme such as Defender or Avast WITHIN the XP OS?
Many thanks for any help and advice.
