Apart from potential bugs in a hypervisor, a bad configuration can also  
contribute to infection. Example: Let's say you run a malicious script that  
encrypts files and demands money for decryption and a VM has a shared folder  
with important documents mounted - if it has write access to this directory,  
it can also eradicate these documents.
