Training camp and the security

I just installed Windows using Boot Camp 10, for the sole purpose of testing the Windows version of an application I'm developing.  I still I have the feeling that it would create a completely separate system, and that neither OS would have access to the partition or files on the other.  So, I was surprised to find a drive icon "BOOTCAMP" on my desktop Mac, giving access to all files on the Windows partition.

My concerns/questions are as follows:

1 Windows has access to files on my OS X partition?  I don't want to I don't want Microsoft and others being able to access my folder (like their EULA permits), and in my humble OPINION Windows has a security generally lax, especially with a score of unencripted.

2 given that OS X can access the Windows partition, there chances that malicious software Windows could end up under OS X?

My system: early 2015 rMBP; OS X 10.11.3 with FileVault 2 active, Windows 10 with no encriptación.

Thanks in advance.

If you have installed the drivers from Boot Camp on Windows (if you have not, you should install them as soon as POSSIBLE), Windows can read your OS X partition, but it can not writeand vice versa. Apple has included a basic HFS + driver in Windows that allows you to access your files from OS X but ensure safety by not letting Windows to write part of the OS X from your hard drive.

As you can see above, Windows cannot write files to your OS X partition, there is no risk of that.

    Hi Sandeep,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    Some of our community members reported that the solution you have included in your application got similar clock synchronization issues.

    As a registry edit is a sensible step but you can try and check, but before that, you can take a backup of your registry.

    To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Note:

    If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    e. Select your language settings and then click Next.

    No, for troubleshooting the best way is to use the CLI that will give you debug output on where it is lacking.

    For configuration, outside the CLI, ASDM and CSM, unfortunately there is no other tool that works on Linux/Freebsd because it is more specific orders of the ASA and only limited to the CLI, ASDM, or CSM.
