OK I am using Mac and people say that it cant get viruses if I am only just surfing the net, somehow OS partition being immune for some unknown reason to me, heh. I am just wondering what happens if I am using Parallels, is that safe thing or could be attacked by virus just like Windows? Well I confess that getting different opinions about this matter is not helping me much.

Actually I have no idea what is your question here? You are not having problem with Parallels just looking for what kind of opinion - is Parallels immune to viruses? True, so many different opinions on this matter, but you can call me paranoid I think nothing is safe on the Internet and it is just the matter of time when some virus will become danger to Parallels also. I think it can be attacked just like Windows, so only wise and safe thing is to make backups all the time.
