Can my host PC get infected if my virtual machine gets a virus (VMWare)?

As long as you keep your virtual and host separate (do not share folders) then no. That is one of the strengths of virtual - if it is infected you delete it.

once you're surfing the internet unprotected, you *do* have greater than a number of viruses. besides the undeniable fact that, because of the fact you're utilising a Mac, a abode windows virus might in all risk have little to no result on you (different than occupy HDD area). A *Mac* virus (and there are a particularly super form of them accessible, yet they're uncommon in assessment to abode windows viruses) on the different hand... maximum pc protection agencies produce a Mac version of their AV courses and suites. by the way...a tech of my acquaintance had a shopper that had his abode windows container contaminated by utilising documents transferred from a Mac by utilising USB key. The virus replaced right into a abode windows virus that the Mac person had picked-up at the same time as surfing, because of the fact he had no AV application or different protection courses working. solid success!

Depends on how you have the network adapters. Is the VM in its own little virtual network or is connected to the same network your host PC is.

If its in its own little network you'll be ok, if its on the same network as the host then yes it can spread via the network.
