Windows for gammes only, not internet?

[ncook06]

I would like to set aside about 15 GB of my Macbook's 80 GB hard drive to run Windows games, but I don't want to mess with virus protection.

-I love games, but I am not very good, so I never play online anyway.
-I use consoles for action and sports games, so my graphics are fine for the games I want to play.

Question:
Can I run windows and restrict it from the internet?

yeah, just disable the wifi and ethernet

Just don't visit any websites using Internet Explorer/download illegal software and make sure the Windows firewall is on and you should be fine.

You don't really need to bother disabling the internet IMO.

So with SP2 I don't need to install any extra virus protection?

Only if you are crazy, you going to run windows you better have something. Thats my 2 cents.

i must agree with DontHurtMe if you're online you'll need SOMETHING (if you want free try avast antivirus and spybot) but it's completely unnecessary if you're not online.

Download Zonealarm firewall.http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-10435_4-10545544.html?tag=lst-0-2
This program is provided for free from Zonelabs Inc.

After the install choose standard Zonealarm, not pro as that cost money. Then turn on the internet lock. Then your Macbook's internet will be locked down when in Windows.

I wouldn't be to sure, those don't offer 100% protection.
