of course not - its just a simple NAT-service - this passes packages based on IPs - it does not inspect those packages

Using NAT, Does the Host Check for Viruses?

mirroman — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:46:41 GMT

After installing a virus checker (Avast) in Guest XP64 in Host Vista 64 and using NAT, I wondered whether the Host was checking for viruses before it passed the internet data on to the Guest? That would make it unnecessary to use a virus checker in the guest --> increased performance. I doubt it but it seems worth asking. Thank you.
