I recently bought Virtual PC and intend to do some internet stuff with it -It's a reasonable concern. Actually VPC is not as vulnerable as hanging a peecee out on the web as your Mac is running interference, however, it's a valid concern. By all means keep up with all the windows patches and critical updates on the VPC windooze version.
email, surfing, etc.- but I am wondering if Virtual PC itself is as subject
to hacker intrusions as a PC Windows computer would be.
My guess OTTOMH is "no", unless I have the V-PC function on, hooked up to the internet, and allow the computer to remain idle for a time. Am I correct about that?
Your input, insights and experiences would be appreciated. TIA
In our case we also never use e-mail on VPC as an additional layer of protection.
