I was pointing out one reason why it wouldn't happen. With most VM
systems you have it sandboxed to a degree...there's no reason to
expose the Applications folder to a Windows VM on the Mac. Those
files are useless to the virtual machine guest.
Well, there's an option to just share the entire startup disk. Many
users may share it to avoid asking themselves what to share in case of
multiple folders needed to be shared (sometimes humans prefer the
easier way, sadly).
If he shared and/or exposed the entire filesystem to the Windows
guest, then in my opinion it's asking for problems. But the malware
still would be scratching its' head at most of the filesystem
peculiarities it would encounter with a shared drive, it would be
limited to infecting just what it knows how to infect via (probably)
cifs, the file sharing protocol. The raw filesystem would not work
with the guest.
Hmm... I think the share is "converted" in FAT32 (otherwise, the guest
OS wouldn't be allowed to write).
