W7 bootcamp or parallels security

[MacCrackAddict]

so i have a copy of w7 ultimate to run for a few bits and pieces. But all i would like to know is that i believe w7 via bootcamp is only as secure as your average PC. I was curious to know if i run the same risks of exposing my mac to trojans and what not if i use parallels instead?

it doesn't really bother me what i have to use this is aimed at security

thanks

Windows is no more secure in parallels as it is in bootcamp. The only difference is that windows does not have direct access to the hardware, so a virus cannot write directly to the hard drive.

You will need an antivirus software regardless which way you go.
