If the virtual PC gets a virus and the virus sends out on the local network to spread, it may infect the host PC like any other PC on your local network could. However there is no higher risk by default to running a virtual PC. You just have to keep in mind old Operating Systems don't have new security measures, so keep your antivirus and firewall software running and you should be fine.

But if you're looking at getting it illegally you're on your own there. Let me know if any part of the guide is hard to follow and i'll make some changes to it.
