    Well the built in AV is very obviously crap then, isn't it?

          So scrap the partition, start again, and make sure you have a decent anti-virus in place before you do anything. Make sure you install malwarebytes early as well.

              Yeah, I did that (again! - first time I used the wrong iso and couldn't activate the install. and then I formatted the bootcamp partition via the windows install instead of using bootcamp assistant, which fubarred my fusion drive So reinstalled osx, then windows again), thanks.

              I put avg on, and installed all of the windows updates (I'd assumed that they were in the first time around, but it looks as though 'automatically install' means it saves them up for when you shutdown).

              So what's the difference between an antivirus & malwarebytes? I steered away from 'too much' protection when I ran windows before because it turned my monster PC into a lumbering sloth. I never got a noticable issue in years running just the built in firewall, and I used spybot search & destroy for my parents who managed to get a virus every other week.

                Have you never applied patches to your macbook? There are a few available - or are you really such a gullible idiot that you believe the mantra "Macs don't get viruses"? Running unpatched systems of any OS flavour is monumentally cretinous and entirely inexcusable for anyone who works in the IT industry. I hope you never work in any kind of network administrative capacity.

                I was talking to the IT security guys at client site on Friday- they say the only way to secure a webcam (be it on a linux, mac or windows machine) is to put a sticker over it.
                What's patching go to do with anything?

                      I though - oh, bootcamp. That's cool. A handy utility to install windows on my iMac.

                      Ok, i need a bootable windows USB drive.
                      Ok, so how do I get an image for the copy of windows I've just purchased the product key for?
                      Ok... I'll download the free trial of parallels and use the free developers i.e. 11 windows 7 image, choose install windows using the product key, from the microsoft website --> choose ISO --> chug chug chug... viola! windows 8.1 iso on a thumb drive.
                      Back to OSX, use bootcamp to create bootable usb --> choose ISO... "sorry, this iso is for the 32 bit version"

                      Download 64 bit windows 7 iso, create new VM, create new win 8.1 iso (which will be 64 bit now i'm using a 64 bit machine to create it). Repeat process.

                      Then the rest of the shenanigans.

                      So to answer your question.... perhaps not.
