Greetings, does anyone have a good recommendation for an AntiVirus software for VM Fusion on the MAC. I've read that some of the AVS interferes with how VM Fusion functions. I would like to protect my machine but not afflict it. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

You mean, you are looking for an Anti-Virus to run in Windows. I would suggest CA (formerly Computer Associates) Anti-Virus or AVG Free Anti-Virus. I would avoid Norton AV like a plague.

The latest VMWare Fusion 2.0 beta comes with a one year subscription to McAfee antivirus.
I've been using AVG Free up to now. Not that I've actually booted up my Windows VM much in the past few months - I've done so only to get Windows updates.

Do not under any circumstances use McAfee AV, it is nearly as bad a Norton... Bloatware.

I use AVG Free too
I'm not sure if it is any good... but I haven't had any problems

i was using avg free for awhile, but it started acting up a bit, so i switched to avast. either one seems to work fine and are both free for personal use.
I don't use anything. If something goes wrong I just reinstall the virtual machine or roll back (using the new auto snapshot feature) to a time when it was fine.
