I think the drive image used by VPC would be "infected" and you'd 
likely have to delouse it, reformat the image or delete it and 
create another and re-install the whole mess. I don't think the 
Mac would be affected since the malicious code only works on 
windows albeit under emulation. Not sure if this holds true for 
shared folders though since the Mac OS can also control what 
happens to files on these.

I haven't tried to louse up my VPC that much to see what happens!!
