As a similar reluctant Fusion/Windows user I can say I have been
pleasantly surprised. CNET AVG Anti Virus is free and is updated
regularly. Because Fusion is really a Mac application running, I do
not blieve having it on a separate partition will offer any extra
protection.

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,
