    Anti Virus


    Hey everyone I was wondering if there was a need to have a AV inside a VM. My OS is Opensuse Leap 42.2 and I'm running Windows 7 Professional inside Virtual Box. Just curious I don't visit any naughty websites or download anything I'm not sure of.

    Thanks

    If you want to be protected, you should have an anti-virus program installed inside the VM.

    You're welcome. MSE is what I usually use in my VMs as well.
