I installed a Windows XP virtual machine on VirtualBox. The host machine is also a Windows XP. I run 5 viruses on the guest machine, however this does not seem to infect my host machine. Could someone inform me why ?

I am using a Host network only option , but no shared folders between the guest and the host: could this infect my host machine anyway ? – Aug 12 '14 at 09:23
