    I just installed the demo of 4 and it works great! I chose not to install the anti-virus protection and I was wondering if Windows XP gets affected, do I risk the rest of my Mac or just the Windows installation? (I am only using Windows for browser testing, so I don't really care if it takes a dump once in awhile... speed is more important to me).

    Thanks!

    Nevermind about my post... for anyone new out there, like myself, do a search for 'Security' in the forums to learn more about what to worry about.

    I basically did the following:

    - After you install Windows, click 'Configure' in the top bar of the virtual window
    - Click 'Security' under the features category, change to 'high'
    - Your Mac is now completely isolated from Windows (and any problems that might occur with that OS)

    (I only needed parallels to run a few versions of IE for web testing)
