I am running an VMware Virtual Machine with malware on it is it possible that it could get on my real pc which is running the VMware machine?|||i don't think so unless if you transfer files between them or if you have a shared folder/file too|||You have not stated what operating systems you are running on your virtual system so lets say you are running Vista and xp the chances are yes you will have malware b ecause all Viruses and malware is written for windows,
now VMware is Linux and that won't have malware within VMware because it is a totally different operating system and Malware will not effect VMware what so ever,
It will still effect any and all windows operating systems|||It depends on a number of things... if both machines run Windows and the virus is one that spreads across a network and you have no virus checker on your host machine then yes, it can spread. If both machines run Windows and you move files between the machines and you have no virus checker on the host then yes.
If you have a virus checker on the host then no.
If the host and the guest run significantly different software (i.e. one is Windows and the other is Linux) then the virus won't infect both machines under any circumstance.|||if it is in the virtual machine files that are permanently on your computer then the malware is already on your computer...Here is a list of free online virus scans Safety.Live.com (That one is Microsoft's) Symantec.com Housecall.TrendMicro.com Comodo.com...Comodo.com offers free manual disinfection and a free security suite from the makers of Comodo Firewall Pro...Avira.com now offers free antivirus and antispyware...besure to turn off onboard antivirus before starting online scanner
