Windows will stay separate to os x, even if you do get a virus on the
windows side you can just wipe it and start again. Any problems you
get with the windows side will not effect os x. To be honest if you
keep windows up to date and run some virus software you will be fine,
It might not be pretty but it will do what you need to do.

I feel unclean to be even considering it, but I may have to instal
Fusion and Windows on my MacPro (OS 10.5.4).
This machine spends quite a bit of time on the net.
I've had very little experience with the dark side, but I've read
all the horror stories about virus problems on the internet.
The windows installation will be going onto its own partition. Can
anybody tell me if the computer can get infected just by having
windows on a partition, even if it's not running; or does it have to
be active before it becomes a virus magnet?
Thanks,
