VMware is the weak link here. They’ve been releasing security bug fixes for the last week and it’s yet another security flaw in VMware’s code. This doens’t speak well to their isolation or security testing.

Before I switched to Mac back in 2004 I ran a Windows box on a static DSL line, on 24/7. I hosted five domains (mostly family sites). I didn’t run AV software. Before I packed it into the garage I did a virus scan and it came clean.

I’m not worried about my Mac. Though it would/will be funny if I get infected.

I was a bit concerned when Conficker came on the scene, because the smartmount feature of parallels means your mac drives are writable by windows, and this is on by default.

Unless absolutley necessary i recommend completely isolating your Windows vm from any mac drives

I wish those criminals wouldn`t develop such malware.
