Hi
do I need to install antivirus software on my guest OS (Vista) or will the AV on the host machine (Kaspersky) cover the guest OS?
thanks
Daniel

Re: Do I need Antivirus Software
You need something for a Guest, as the Host is isolated from the Guest.

Re: Do I need Antivirus Software
A VM is a separate machine, so yes. This has been asked dozens of times before. Please try to search next time.

Re: Do I need Antivirus Software
Thanks for your help, I actually did do a search but got a lot of results and did not find any that related to my question.
Next time I will search more thoroughly.
