Virtual Machines and virus

[Anthony Mondz]

Can virus for Windows XP/Vista spread to the host running Windows 10 using virtualbox?


Windows XP is love Windows XP is life Windows XP Is best

Yes it can. Especially if you have any shared resources/drives/folders between guest and host.

I also want to know how to move virtual machines to my Asus since my DELL is super slow ever since I installed the creators update part 1
They are VirtualBox I got Ubuntu Linux Mint Windows XP Windows Vista Windows ME (insert mistake joke here) Windows 95 soon Windows 3.1 MS-DOS and a failed install of macOS 8* There is no system image on the virtual hard drive for macOS

Yeahhh I am not doing virus on those machines I will just stick to deleteing the WINDOWS folder on XP using cmd.exe and doing the delete command

Just copy the VHD over to the other machine.
Tell the VirtBox client where they are.

And you probably have other issues as to why the Creators release has seemingly slowed your system down.
That is not a universal condition.

It runs like it does when my laptop has only 2 GB useable because of Minecraft Forge using 2 GB of RAM
except slower it takes about 1-2 minutes to open something and it ran faster it has a Celeron Quad Core and 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD

Well...thats a conversation for a whole new thread.
Unlikely someone would come in here with a title about VM's and viruses.
