Protect system if I run MacOS and Windows Virtualized.

Asked By tracyann09 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/15/2011

Hello!

I'm Tracy Ann, and I have a question. Is my system more protected if I run a Mac OS and run a Windows Virtualized environment? Will the Mac OS help protect my Windows system?

Is it  helpful in protecting my system if I keep the data on the Mac OS partition such as critical business documents and run my email on the Windows machine?

Protect system if I run MacOS and Windows Virtualized.

Hello Tracy Ann,

The windows operating system is designed in such a way that is more user friendly .But this has taken the advantage in the security purpose. In some cases the windows is less secured than the Mac OS. You can keep the document on the Mac partition. But you should keep in mind that new updated Trojan horse viruses are there to attack your files.

Windows can support you to keep files safe. Then you will need to use a good Antivirus. be careful to use the pirated versions of Antivirus. If you browse Internet or run emails on windows then the windows files are also not safe due to the spam or other viruses as you know thousands of viruses are there to attack your PC.
