If is use a Virtual PC HVD to browse the internet. And if I am
attacked by spy ware or computer viruses. Will the get to my real PC

have a network connection between the guest and the host, some nasties can
infect other machines through the network.

Gotta say, I agree with Gordon here.

The OP was not asking whether the host AV would protect the guest, but rather
whether an infection of the guest (which he maybe doesn't care about) could
infect the host (which he would care about).

Okay, I can buy that, sorry, I was reading more into it than it
actually says, my fault.

I was going on was the separate computer idea...
