[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1598567, member: 320225"] As [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/members/chscag.html"]chscag[/URL] said, you'll be fine: I have a very similar function for my VirtualBox Windows-XP VM: I need to run CorelDRAW X3 as I have a huge collection of files, created over two decades in CorelDRAW ... Old versions of Photoshop and Acrobat Pro (which got some features Adobe dropped, from subsequent versions) are also on that VM, but I hardly ever use them. My Windows VM is setup with no internet access and no network access, apart from one shared folder. No need for any antivirus software. Has been running this VM for about eight years now, first in Linux, then when I moved to Mac - in OS X. Never had a single problem with it. I do use snapshots fairly regularly, but not because I am concerned with malware. [/QUOTE]
