is there any way to open up the mac side to windows using bootcamp?

It could only delete files that the windows system could see. That's
why you don't open up the whole MacOS file system to the windows
side. Remeber that these windows file systems exist as files on you
Mac, if your are using parallels or as a disk partition on the mac if
you are using bootcamp.
So give Windows only the access it need to the MacOS and no more. I
create a special folder to transfer stuff from one OS to the other.
Should a virus strike the windows side it could only delete or
corrupt the files in that folder as it is the only part of the Mac's
filing system it can see.
What a windows virus can not do is to infect the MacOS and then
spread from there.

But if you got a virus on your windows partition that went through
and corrupted/deleted files on your Mac volume, would that not be
just as bad as getting a native Mac virus?
