[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 271628, member: 3850"] Parallels merely enables you to run a separate OS on top of OS X. So whilst you're in that environment, you're susceptible to all of Windows' shortcomings. So, yes you still need to run virus/spyware/trojan scanners. Since Parallels uses your macs connection to connect to the internet you should be covered by OS X's firewall, so I don't think you really need a separate windows firewall. [/QUOTE]
