Have installed Parallels on my Macbook: Do I need to run firewall/anti-virus software for XP?

[Whoa_Nelly]

Or is Parallels being a VM, there should have no problems with intrusion?

Thanks in advance! :hi:

1. It's windows... nough said

yes, you need to run that software when running WINDOWS. since all its lovely issues appear

Oh and I do hope for yer sanity you got XP and not Vista

2. It's XP

After all I've read about Vista, both prior to and after it's release, I wouldn't let that program anywhere near any of my computers!

Thanks for the response! :hi:

3. I was originally going to put XP on my iMac

Then I found out it would make the machine just as vulnerable as a PC so I shelved the idea. I do have an un-used version of XP if anyone wants to purchase it.

The issues are major on that machine
