[QUOTE="xstep, post: 287258, member: 11647"] They couldn't affect OS X directly and Windows can't natively read or write to OS X volumes. Even if one could write the the OS X volume, code typically relies on the OS for system calls and has a certain structure for it to load. These are incompatible between the two systems. What I'm waiting to see is a virus that reformats partitions or messes up the partition structure. That could be bad news for any partition including an OS X one. Of course it would execute under Windows. My interest in Windows is minimal so I don't know if that might already exist. [/QUOTE]
