Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 shows no antivirus running

I just received a new computer with Windows 7 and downloaded and installed Windows XP mode and Virtual PC.  When I open the XP Mode, it says I have no antivirus running (but I do on the passage of Windows 7) and she wants to also download and install the updates for Windows XP - as if it was my old computer with XP.

So my antivirus running Windows 7 I protect in XP mode, or what I need to install another program AV in XP Mode?  and do I have to update all the XP updates (these are updates that are different from those I had to do when installing XP Mode and Virtual PC initially)?

[1] will be my antivirus Windows 7 protect me in XP mode, or what I need to install another program AV in XP Mode?

should [2] I update all the XP updates...?

A1. Loy Yes.

A2. Yes.

  • Dialog box of the file in the application that is running in window 7 shows all of the UNC path

    HELP PLZ!

    We use the file dialog box to open the folder of the disk file network hard. Window XP showed the path UNC path, but when we run our application (developed in vba) on window 7, full unc path has been established instead of only last name of the folder.
    example of... UNC path \\abcd\abb\abfolder in window XP file dialog shows "abfolder" and then if we see in looking in then hierarchical set of path can be seen
    but the file in window 7 dialog box shows all the way "\\abcd\abb\abfolde" as it is...
    Please suggest if some way where we can display in the file dialog box in the window 7 same folder in UNC path that showed before in XP.

    Adviser advised compatibility xp SP2 download

    Hi Careysav,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    You can try to play the game in compatibility mode to avoid the problem.

    Here are the steps to run in compatibility mode, it applies to Windows Vista, but it's always good for Windows 7.

    To run the game in compatibility mode:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then

    2. click on Control Panel. In the search box, type Troubleshooting, then

    3. click on Troubleshooting.

    4. in the framework of programs, click run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

    5. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)
