I'm VERY SCARED at the moment, for testing purposes I placed a file in the root of my C drive with highest privilidges, now, when I entered XP mode I just could delete the file without any access restrictions! How am I going to trust such a virtual machine? I like UAC.. Seems my XP Mode got more permissions than I want it to have :( How can I prevent that, I'm not going to buy an AV for a virtual machine!

1. Use NoDrives in registry http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938267.aspx 2. Use free MS Security Essentials (limited to 10 installation) http://windows.microsoft.com/cs-CZ/windows/products/security-essentials or any other free version of AV program http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/#!/free-antivirus-download Regards Milos

Hi, Firstly, please let us know how you access the C drive in your host from XP Mode. If you use Integration Feature, the drives in your host will be mapped in XP Mode and have the full permission. More information: Share host drives with a virtual machine To avoid this, you can disable mapping drives in Integration Feature Setting and use network share instead. Hope this helps.
