I need to install antivirus software on a virtual machine if I only use vm to a printer driver only for windows?

Hi all

Searched for an answer via Google and there, qualification so far found no.

I am currently set up with Fusion 3.0.1/XP Pro on an iMac / Snow Leopard.  The only reason I use the merge on this machine is as follows.  We have a Sony SnapLab Pro UP_CR20L digital photo printer for our personal use.  Brief history on printer: these printers are sold on the commercial aspect of the site of Sony, generally used in kiosk, sales retail store settings.  Sony has provided only a Windows printer driver for this printer, so my need to use Fusion to print from my computer on the SnapLab.

That being said, I don't want to use the virtual machine for anything other than this one function: printing photos to my photo on the side of Mac through XP for the printer folder.  No internet on the side navigation XP. Period.

Can anyone offer upward not reasons to play with headaches run the anti-virus on the virtual machine software?

Thank you all ~

NONE.  Windows is not also subject to security as everyone seems to think.

Firstly, Windows is that ALTHOUGH the user.  If you use this VM, and you surf the NET and download files, the USER is the reason Windows crashes, not Windows.

Windows makes it EASY because you are an administrator rather than forcing users to degenerate into a user Admin Linux by default.

So if you install Windows 2008 or Windows 7 leave the enabled user access mode, do not put the user Admins member and you will have NO problem.

So no, YOU can't BC

  • How to install the software on a virtual machine?

    Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

    In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

    Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

  • How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

    I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

    I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

    When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

    I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

    The following software are available for download:

    VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

    What do you do?

    X Cancel |  Download and install

    Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

    So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

    Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

    Please enter the root password to move forward.

    Password: __________

    not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

    I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

    ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

    "incorrect password... try again."

    Then, he does not.

    Not very satisfying.

    The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

    Suggestions?  Advice?

    The required password is for the host.

    A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

  • Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

    Hi all

    I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

    How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

    In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

    At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

    So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

    I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.
