Normally the AV autoprotect monitors files, not network traffic....

Subject: A/V on VM Host

 

Would the anti-virus package on a host machine also protect the guest
VMs? 

 

I was wondering if, say, VirusScan is installed on the host box,
wouldn't it be scanning all data streaming across the NIC, including
that which is destined for the VMs?

 

Is there a flaw in my thinking?
