As already stated - None! One reason I transitioned from PCs (following retirement) to Apple in the spring of this year - read a lot (and received plenty of help here) about 'malware' - for your interest, two of the more helpful reads are HERE1 & HERE2; there is also a malware guide in the forum. Good luck and hope the links provide a better understanding - Dave

In this situation someone would have to deal with this just like they would with any Windows computer. But still no effect on the OS X partition.

Of course, another consideration even if you are just running OS X would be passing 'malware' as an email attachment to a contact running Windows - in that instance, checking outgoing email for viruses, etc. would be prudent (a topic discussed in one of the links in my previous post). Dave
