Hi,
I am running win xp professional through virtualbox on hardy. i have win xp sp2 installed. usually, i would also install a virus scanner and zonelabs firewall.
i was just wondering, is this necessary for virturalization? i would rather not because it eats up my RAM. is there a danger, for example, that someone will hack into my windows, then hack into my ubuntu through the shared folder which shows up as a network?
in that face, i was thinking they would be able to change any settings or documents they want, since no sudo permissions exist in windows. is this a threat? i would really, really prefer not to install zonelabs and a virus scan.
if it helps, i have firestarter installed on hardy.
thanks,
