security on virtual machines
Hi I'm considering getting a virtual machine program. My physical machine runs windows 7 home premium and the virtual machine would have windows XP pro as the operating system.
I'm considering VMware for the virtual machine software.
On my physical machine I am running McAffee suite provided as part of my dsl service.
My questions regarding the virtual machine are...
1) do you need an additional antivirus program running on the virtual machine, or would the antivirus/firewall on my physical machine protect the virtual machine.
2) If the answer is you need antivirus on both the physical and virtual machine, will there be any conflicts running the same antivirus program on both machines?
Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions - Carl
