[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 713247, member: 48298"] You remove a Boot Camp partition through the Boot Camp Assistant - it's one-click and if you try to remove it via Disk Utility you can mess things up. The windows partition is susceptible to viruses, malware, etc., so you definitely want to install an antivirus and be sure you have an appropriate firewall in place. But the cool thing is, the Mac OSX partition is safe from whatever infects the Windows partition. I also recommend checking out the trial versions of Fusion and Parallels - they are free trials and are actually easier to run and use (as they allow you to run Windows programs side by side on your OSX desktop, with cut/paste and all kinds of other cool things) than Boot Camp. Boot Camp is the way to go if you need Windows to run natively (e.g., gaming and certain other high-intensity uses). For business productivity applications, surfing, watching YouTube, music, etc., Fusion and Parallels work great and are very fast. Cheers [/QUOTE]
