Part of setting up VMWare Fusion is installing the VMWare tools which
adds drivers that makes the virtual machine work better with the Mac's
hardware. While I haven't tried it I would assume that the McAfee
version of the Fusion update include installing McAfee on the Windows
side along with the usual VMWare tools. So this is not a Mac anti-virus
although McAfee still makes one for OSX. I don't know if it's any good.
If you want to ask the general question about good anti-virus for the
Mac I'd start a new email chain since people who don't care about VMWare
are probably not reading this.

Updated McAfee VirusScan Plus to version 13.6, adding Windows 8.1 support. What
does this mean? Is there a McAfee for mac osx that also will scan in virtual
Windows 8.1? If this shall work, do you need to open up for file sharing
between osx and windows? Is McAfee equally slow as in the end of 90’s and start
of the year 2000 or so?
Is there a «best virus/malware scanner» that work both in osx and virtual
windows?
Take care

data to a shared folder.
A virtual machine connected to the network with NAT and running many concurrent
DNS requests could cause the virtual machine to crash. This issue has been
resolved.

network connection.
Fixed problems with symbolic links created in shared folders.
Fixed an issue where VMware Fusion running on Mac OS X 10.10 would not properly
handle changes to the system audio configuration.

"Dock Metro App to Screen" operation by Windows 8.1 RTM VM (9600).
In some three-monitor configurations, full screen mode would not work across
all the monitors. This issue has been resolved.
