Viruses, from Windows partition to Mac partition ?

Hello everyone !
I recently installed Windows on my Mac via Bootcamp. I found two trojan horses on my Windows partition, so I deleted it.
My question is : Can viruses or any other malicious thing go from the windows partition to the Mac partition, or in a general way, switching between partitions ?
Sincerely.

First their is now way the trojan can move from the windows partition to the macs and even if it did maybe through a USB drive macs and windows are built differently that is why you can't install a windows program on a mac and vise-versa.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

    I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

    And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

  • Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

    I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
    Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
    There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
    I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
    Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
    Many thanks

  • Cannot access MS office files on OS X partition from windows partition running bootcamp s

    I've installed a trial version of Microsoft Office 2010 on the Windows partition of my iMac.  Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac is installed on the OS X partition. When I try to open a file on the OS X partition an error displays saying the file is corrupted or the server is not available.  If I transfer the file to Windows it opens fine.  Other types of files such as a pdf or photo formats open fine with the appropriate Windows programs accessing the OS X partition.  Is this a limitation of the trial version or a basic limitation of Office for Windows?  Office for Mac can open a file on the Windows partition with no problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    MSOffice for Windows usually create a temporary hidden file in the same location as the file you open.  Since Windows can't write to the Mac partition, I'm wondering if that's the reason for the error.  (Anyone who knows for certain, correct me if I'm wrong.)
    OSX can natevely read and write FAT32 and read NTFS so I'm assuming that the Office for Mac development team made allowances for opening from a read-only NTFS partition (e.g.: Boot Camp partition.)  Of couse, if your Boot Camp partition is FAT32, then there would be no issue with creating any hidden temporary files.

  • Bootcamp Win7 - won't boot from Windows partition or even from the Win7 install DVD

    Late 2011 Mac Mini / Lion / Win 7 64-bit Home Premium. 
    Incumbent Windows partition has happily run for heavy gaming (World of Warcraft) for some eight months.  Now it stops on boot-up before the Windows logo is displayed, with a very dark blue blank screen.  Attempts to boot from the Windows Install DVD yield the same result, portending that there is more than a corrupt MBR at work here.  I have reset PRAM and SMC, just for good measure.  There have been no recent changes to hardware / peripherals. 
    Rebuilding the Windows partition with Bootcamp stops at same Dark Blue Screen of Death.  Will start Windows sometimes from first switch-on / dead cold Mini, but then not again in the same day.  OS X Lion mode runs perfectly, booting up as usual with no quirks or delays.
    Hardware?  Seems unlikely, except for that suspicion of starting from the dead-cold start.

    Do not use a USB3 flash drive. Only USB2 flash drives are supported by Windows installers. Depending on whether your Mac came with a built-in Optical drive or not, you may also need a physical DVD.
    Please see How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support and Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support.

  • How connect to airport from windows partition on mbp?

    I have recently added Windows 7 to my MBP. The MBP is connected to my home network via Airport Extreme. When I'm in Windows, there is no connection to a network. Anything I do there involving setting up a network connection, a screen shows "no connection." Stops me cold. I do get a screen that asks several tech questions, such as ISP addr., password, etc.
    I did find my "IP" addr. in Airport Utility, but I don't know if that's same as "ISP." If anyone has successfully installed Windows 7 on their MAC & established a connection w/ Airport Extreme, I'd like to know how they did it. If you need more info, let me know.

    Hi,
    To connect to the virtual network with a point-to-site VPN, you’ll need to install a VPN package on the VPN client computer. Since Windows 10 and MAC OS are not supported, the related VPN packages are unavailable.
    In addition, if you have a on-premise VPN device, you can create a site-to-site VPN instead.Or you can use ExpressRoute to create private connections between Azure datacenters and infrastructure that’s on your premises.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:
    Configure a Point-to-Site VPN in the Management Portal
    ExpressRoute or Virtual Network VPN – What’s right for me?
    Best regards,
    Susie
