Trojans don't modify kernel files. Also, a trojan only affects Windows OS if it is to get infected and should stick to Windows only. From my experience I have tested Mac, Windows, Backtrack, UNIX everything and I have never heard that any OS installed next to Mac affected its good functionality.

Once you install Windows using Bootcamp the system or any other threat can't access those files in write mode, can't even modify them, only read and reading is also complicated even for a trojan on Windows.

Do you have a Mac or PC with both Windows and Mac installed? I will send you a trojan for Windows that will kill your Mac.

I only use Windows right now. When I will encounter this situation with Mac and another OS (Windows), I will contact you. Since our answers are in contradiction, I suppose both replies are to be taken in consideration by the user who asked.

Off course, user must make his own decision. Also, all posible security issues concerning EFI, Boot Camp etc. can be easily googled.

I have googled about this but opinions are very different.
Thanks anyway

Unfortunately, that driver is not the only way to access HFS/HFS+ in rw mode...
