But AVG detecting a virus inside a VM disk file is not the same as the host being forced to execute that code. How would the host run the infected code and become infected itself? Seems like there would need to be a flaw in the VM software itself. I also use virtualbox BTW.

I'll have to look into this as I thought windows within windows was a safe architecture.
