Windows 8 Security of hyper-v virtual machine

W8NOVICE · Nov 29, 2013

I'm running W8 and have created a virtual W7 using hyper-v. I very rarely connect the real computer to the Internet. If I always turn off the virtual W7 before I connect the computer to the Internet, do I need security software for the virtual W7?

Thanks in advance and thanks to the moderator.

I would run AV software on the virtual machine just to be safe.

Personally, I treat a virtual machine as if it were a physical machine so I run AV software and install Windows updates and such.
