Binos,
Sorry, I completely mis-read your post re. Boot Camp. Of course, the virus issue still stands if you go online under Boot Camp, as it would on a Parallels VM partition.
As for Appleworks, I'm pretty sure it isn't compatible with MSWorks. However, you might be able to get some joy out of it by exporting the Appleworks document as ASCII text and importing the new file into MSWorks. I'm not au fait (naturellement) with MSWorks, so can't be 100% sure. Certainly, you can export the Appleworks database as ASCII and import it into Excel or
Neooffice as a spreadsheet.
