| For VPC to infect a Macintosh outside of the VPC Shared Folder, the virus would have to be specifically written to handle UNIX-style directories -- something that Windows virii are not written to do. The first time that virus tried to "backslash" its way into another directory, it would fail. The Macintosh, outside of the Shared Directory, is completely inaccessible to any Windows virus.
