My five-year-old Mac uses Snow Leopard & Parallels to run Windows 7 to operate FrontPage. No other applications are run under Windows 7.

Can anyone please recommend an anti-virus / Internet security system to use in this configuration?

I use Norton & have tried McAfee & Kaspersky.

I want this product only for running under Windows, not the Mac side.

Thanks to all.

For so little use on the Windows side, you can probably install the free MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). It's not the best but it should suffice if all you're doing is messing with FrontPage to build web sites. FrontPage by the way, has long been discontinued by Microsoft. I know you're probably comfortable with FrontPage but have you tried any of the Mac programs? You may be able to still get hold of a copy of iWeb which Apple used to include with OS X.

Thanks chscsg. I'll check out MS Essentials.

About converting from FP: I spend several hours a day using FP & have many sites that employ hundreds of surveys that use the FP form functions, as well as table structures.

So, converting to to an Apple web builder is not feasible.
