Just as PC malware won't run under Mac OS X, your Mac is safe from any malware that finds its way into your virtual Windows PC. The software will work identically on your virtual installation of Windows. I use Microsoft Security Essentials on my BootCamp installation of Windows 7.
SheepShaver is no longer supported by its original author, Gwenol Beauchesne, but minor updates. You will still need to install PC based anti-virus or other malware protection into the Windows PC that's running on your Mac. The most advanced of these emulator programs is SheepShaver. Volume Management, Dev Environments and more Secure from the start Simplify Code to Cloud Image. Open and edit your Mac files from the new window or access them direct from Windows Explorer or your favorite software. So when it comes to viruses, your Windows PC (the guest) will still be vulnerable to PC malware, but your Mac (host) won't be. The Docker Subscription Service Agreement has been updated. You can, for most purposes, think of these as completely different computers (despite the fact that the guest operating system is effectively running as an application under Mac OS X). The guest will be your virtual machine running Windows. The host in your case is your MacBook Pro running Mac OS X. In virtualization, there are 2 'computers' involved.
