[QUOTE="1Lithium1, post: 1218396, member: 198164"] Ok, heres my situation I want to play this game(Total War Shogun 2), but was only designed and developed to run using Windows. Im worried about partitioning my hard drive to run Windows because of viruses obviously. Question: Say I were to ONLY use the os X partition to send and receive emails and surf the web, and use the os Windows 7 partition with no anti virus protection to exclusively ONLY play the game. Would the os Windows 7 partition be able to catch a virus from the os X partition? I,ve heard that Macs can harbor viruses, not being affected by them, still pass them on to Windows users. Is this correct? And would that play a role in my above question? Any help is much appreciated, thank you. [/QUOTE]
