Symptom • I am running Windows virtual machine in Parallels Desktop® for Mac, and I suspect that my Windows was infected by a malware (viruses). • As I am running Windows on a Mac, does in mean that my Windows OS is protected from viruses the same way as my OS X? • I was told by Parallels Support team that my Windows virtual machine is infected by a malware and I need to install antivirus software. How do I check that? Resolution Parallels Desktop for Mac runs guest OS in special virtualized environment that emulates entire computer. This virtualized computer is as vulnerable to viruses as an usual PC running Windows. We highly recommend you to have antivirus (AV) software installed in the guest OS.

You may install any preferable antivirus software compatible with the version of Windows OS you are running in virtual machine. Don't run multiple antivirus software in one OS: system performance will be significantly decreased due to AV software conflict. NOTE: Please be aware that although computer viruses and similar malicious software cannot affect Mac OS X itself, it may corrupt content which is accessible from Windows side, so we recommend that you avoid storing any important data there (or at least create backups).

Fortunately, we can—the conundrum of running multiple OSes at once has been solved by Parallels, and now it’s faster than ever with Parallels Desktop for Mac. So why would you want to run multiple operating systems on your Mac?

A regular cycle of annual upgrades has established as the leading virtualisation tool for Mac users who need to run Windows apps and software tools that aren't normally available on the Mac. Those upgrades also tend to coincide with new versions of macOS itself, so with now in the final stages of beta testing it's time for version 14 of Parallels Desktop to make its debut. Last year's upgrade to largely focused on catching up with recent developments in Mac hardware, such as the Touch Bar on Apple's latest MacBook Pro laptops. In contrast, v14 is more forward-looking, allowing you to create Windows virtual machines (VMs) that support new technologies, such as Intel's high-performance instruction set, which is used in the current Xeon-based, as well as the next generation of chips. The developers have also improved OpenGL support for Windows VMs in order to enhance performance for a number of graphics-intensive apps, such as the range of data analysis tools, which haven't run well within the virtual machine environment in the past.

Launch and suspend times for virtual machines are also improved, along with performance of the Windows 'virtual disk'.

And, for developers who may need to run multiple virtual machines with different operating systems, there's a Disk Space Wizard that helps to reduce the overall size of each virtual machine file. Windows apps with Touch Bar support on MacBook Pros now include QuickBooks (above) and Microsoft's Visual Studio. Image: Cliff Joseph/ZDNet Parallels always likes to support Apple's latest eye-candy features, so Windows virtual machines in Parallels Desktop 14 will be able to use the new Quick Look markup features that are due to arrive with macOS Mojave.

The Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro laptops will now work with additional Windows apps, including QuickBooks and Microsoft Visual Studio, displaying menu commands from those apps directly on the Touch Bar. And, on the Windows side of the fence, Windows 10 virtual machines will now allow you to use a pressure-sensitive stylus or trackpad with Windows Ink. SEE: (free PDF) Parallels also informed us that it should be possible to accelerate graphics performance on a Windows VM using an external GPU (eGPU), such as the that Apple is currently.
