Should I really a firewall/av for virtual Windows XP, if the internet access is disabled?

I don't want to have to buy an additional license for the stuff I already have (Kaspersky Internet Security 2012) on my old Dell (not ready to give up, yet). I intend to buy/download a new Windows on my Dell software and download it on my Fantom external drive, then move this drive on my Mac to get it... or just download whatever it is (from my desktop Mac) directly on the external drive.

Oh... just to clarify, I have my internet access disabled on virtual Windows (available only from my Mac desktop access) and test to make sure that I couldn't walk around on the internet on Windows virtual. I can't. Yay! Additional note: no account invited; I'm the only user.

Have toyed with getting Intego Internet Security (I know; I probably do not need), but I think (pretty sure, based on the other info I've seen in the forums) will not help in Windows virtual.

[Which also begs the question... my current USB external hard drive (originally bought for my Dell) work on my Mac?] This is a rhetorical question and I'm going to figure this out for me as soon as I've finished using it (it has download something on my Dell, now) and connect the USB cable. ]

Thank you!

Each physical or virtual machine/system must have appropriate protection.  If you don't what to pay money then install key products that offer at least a free version of one a.

As far as your external USB drive is concerned everything depends on what file system it is formatted with and then whether or not you have any 3rd system drivers of third-party files that support what OS X does not.  In other words if the drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system, OS X can read and write to it without problem.  If it is formatted using the NTFS file system, then by default OS X only can read but not write him even if there are third-party drivers that you can use to provide write support of NTFS.

  • Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

    Original title: exceptions to firewall

    Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

    1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

    2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

    However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

    This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

  • Is there a firewall means a single VM away from the Internet while still giving access to the LAN?

    I'm trying to find a way, if possible, to partition a simple VM away from the WAN (Internet) while allowing access to a subnet of the class-C using VMWare Workstation and outside the computer virtual guest himself?

    Install a 2nd NETWORK card is not my preferred option.  Home & comments are windows.

    I am currently configuring the MS Loopback map with the host firewall rules, but can't seem to figure out the trick to get this installation work.

    If anyone has any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance...

    If you have administrator access to the router that provides your connection to the Internet, you could give a fixed IP address to the virtual machine and set a rule of access on the router to only allow access to IP addresses on the local subnet.

  • What is the type of object to use for virtual machine model in the Points of Extension?

    Hello

    I added my plugin point of extension vsphere.core. ${objectType} .monitorViews. My plugin is for all types of objects (vm, file, vApp, resourcePool, etc) except the model of the virtual machine. My understanding is that the vm object type would be required for the virtual machine template, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something here? Should the plugin appear for the model of the virtual machine when I use the vsphere.core.vm.monitorViews extension point?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Ashutosh

    Sorry, I got confused by your original question. ExtensionPoint id you are looking for is the one for adding views a model virtual machine monitor tab:

    model.monitorViews vSphere.Core.

  • Specify the audio hardware of the default Mac as material for virtual Windows machine

    I have a 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac Leopard 10.5.4 Fusion 2.0.1 (recently updated to 1.x) running.  I have an audio interface Firewire (Focusrite Saffire) that I use as my primary audio device for the Mac.  Fusion is used as the audio device that broadcast the Windows.  I want to clarify that Fusion using the internal audio device to the iMac as device Windows plays through.  Is this possible?  The virtual machine settings indicate only that the default audio device as shown in my system preferences will be used by the merger.  Is there a setting in a .vmx file, which can be set to replace?  Thanks in advance.

    Fusion uses virtual hardware, it will use all default hardware Mac configured in the Mac system. You cannot assign all additional devices to the Virtual Machine.

  • Safari displays "the network connection has been lost" for all files flv on the internet.  Firefox reads all

    I've upgraded to the latest version of Flash to correct what I thought was a problem in Firefox.  This problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content.  I uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I even installed an earlier version.  All the these have exactly the same result.  Flash works in Firefox, but not in Safari.  I cleared the cache.  I entered the settings of flash securty and remove all the content.  Nothing seems to change this.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Never mind.  Stupid stupid stupid.  There was a firewall rule blocks flash.  I don't know why it worked in Firefox but when I unchecked, fixed it.

  • Try to install the latest version of Flash for Firefox on Windows XP, get the Internet Explorer Script error

    I am trying to install the latest version of Flash (file install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe), browser = Firefox 14 (current), OS = Windows XP.  I tried several times, making sure to disable Norton Antivirus Autoprotect first.

    At some point throughout the process - while downloading or during Assembly - I get the following error message:

    Internet Explorer Script error

    Line: 1

    Char: 10010

    Error: 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is not defined

    Code: 0

    URL: http://127.0.0.1:1174/app/_js/adobe.js

    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? [Yes] [None]

    If I answer [Yes] or [no] the result is the same - the program crashes. It does not close, and when I close it manually it asks if I want to stop it. But if I leave it there, nothing happens.

    By the advice of the site, I uninstalled Flash in order to restart costs. This means that, instead of having an outdated Flash version, I now none.

    I tried to RTFM, but research for this error go empty.  I'm curious to know why Internet Explorer being participates in it at first. But mostly, I'm just curious as to how to get this thing to work.

    Thanks for you help with anything that can give me.
