I'm just trying to get these programs straight.
For boot camp, i recall that it creates a partition separately on the HDD, and all my windows material is on that and only that. Correct?
SO if i get a windows virus, it messes up my BC partition only and i have to fix it as if it was a plain old Windows box, right ?

Fusion on the other hand, creates NO partition?, it just allows me access to windows only files and apps directly through OSX? For this is it even possible to get a windows virus? and if i get one would it affect my OSX since its not contained on a partition of its own?

Lastly, if i make a BC partition, set that up completely for use then install Fusion, it can allows me to use my BC partition inside a normal window on my OSX, correct?
But doing this, will it contain all the fusion files and what not to my BC partition ?

I'm trying to limit things from windows floating around my OSX stuff.. i just want it all nice and clean..

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thank you
