yep, sure it might be a good way to protect your PC but it will slow it down and may cause it to crash.

Yep, I have done it, just make sure none of the files can interact on your hard drive. I would suggest installing the Virtual PC files along with the server and virus scanner on another hard drive (although the files may be on a hidden partition). Don't use this drive for anything else other than the Virtual OS and it's programs. Another partition is fine too.



Virtual PC is like having another operating system run windowed on your current operating system, you just don't want the virus scanner to accidentally scan your current system and mess with the files, which will never be a problem if you install it say on D: drive and not have it scan C: drive (and have your original Virus Software on C: drive not scan D: drive or wherever the virtual OS is. And of course you have to install it when in the Virtual OS.



What the other answerers don't understand is the files located on the virtual hard drive are all included in a single file on your physical hard drive, most of the time that file cant be opened by antivirus scanning programs, so none of the virtual computer's files are scanned. (Unless you install a virus scanner on the Virtual OS)
It depends on the products themselves. If you really want to run two products, I suggest trendmicro internet security on the server and AVG anti-virus on the virtual. I have used both of these products in a similar fashion.
