[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1441982, member: 101749"] Depends on how you mean. How i think you mean, a virus on the OS X side then no, but what you have read is correct as in the way that bootcamp, that runs Windows will still and has always been prone to viruses/malware/spyware as if you owned a Windows PC. if your running Windows under BC you still need to be vigilant against contracting a virus/malware/spyware. **It still is Windows** I would be interested to read this source as this is far from the truth. WINE is a safe. Personally i would be using BootCamp OR a VM like VMFusion/VirtualBox/Parallels. Using a VM saves you logging in and out of OS X everytime you want to run Windows. People in this foum play with both, but majority like the VM because of freedom they have changing between OS X and Windows.
