VPC7 only runs on Windows 7, so you're kind of out of luck unless you
switch to something other than VPC.

Not normally, but if you have shared folders or drives, it's possible
that an infected file got transferred and would activate if you used
that file on the host. There are a few of other network based
exploits that could "leak" as well, that's why it's a good thing to
run A/V on both the host and the guests.
