SS: An interesting question. My understanding is that in the latest
build of Fusion, the Mac home folder is shared as a read only folder
visible under windows. I changed this behavior because I want to be
able to create various files and save them outside my virtual drive
i.e. somewhere in my mac home folder. My guess is that since I've
allowed read/write access to my home folder, a virus could cause
damage i.e. there'd be nothing stopping it from deleting files from my
home directory, or accessing their contents. i'd definitely recommend
running a virus checker of some sort on Windows and if you're really
worried, disable sharing of the Mac home folder except for those times
you really really need it.
