Gordon Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am curious whether Windows XP mode in Windows 7 is completely safe like if I was using any other virtual machine. Can viruses penetrate through this virtual system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I am curious whether Windows XP mode in Windows 7 is completely safe like if I was using any other virtual machine. Can viruses penetrate through this virtual system?My guess is that it relies on your malware software/firewall and is no safer than running in native Windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I can see the native hard drives seem to be as if they were in network, so I guess the XP mode is not much of a virtual machine after all, in terms of protecting the main system.
