[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1087400, member: 52014"] While it's theoretically possible for a virus in a VM to infect the host OS, it's highly unlikely under your described conditions. VMs are designed to isolate the guest OS from the host, making it difficult for malware to cross over. However, if you're using the same antivirus on both systems and it fails to detect the malware, there's a slight risk it could spread. Malware spreading through LAN is less common now, but still possible. Always ensure your systems are up to date and consider using different antivirus software for added protection. [/QUOTE]
