Big security risk with global sharing In Parallels Desktop 3120, there is an option (on by default) to "enable global sharing for drag-and-drop." Whilst this is a nice feature, it seems to be implemented by having a semi-hidden (ie, not in the list) shared folder called ".Mac". This folder gives read/write access to the entire Mac boot drive :eek: Given the amount of viruses and other malware on Windows, the last thing I want is the virtual XP having full read/write access to my Mac! This feature should be turned off by default and a big warning shown before turning it on. |
