I just switched from XP to Windows 7 Pro, and because I’ve got a Personal Information Manager that I like a lot (DeskTop Set), I downloaded and installed Virtual PC and XP Mode.
The first time I opened Virtual PC, in the Virtual PC Window there was the little red shield “Windows Security Alerts.” I clicked it and got the Windows Security Center window which indicated that I had no virus protection. I had just downloaded and installed MS Security on Win 7. I have no experience with virtual PCs, so… what gives?
Do I have to treat this virtual PC like a completely separate computer? I won’t be going online with it, but I’m not sure that will protect me.
Thanks,
Mac
