Couple questions here. If I go online on my Windows partition (using Boot Camp) and get a virus will it mess up my Mac partition and if I do get a virus on Windows but then delete that partition will it go away?

Other question is is there a way to connect my Apple wireless jeyboard and Mighty Mouse or am I stuck with my Macbook keyboard/trackpad?

Thanks.

Windows doesn't know anything about the Mac filesystem. So in essence it's like your Mac partition doesn't exist and OS X should be fine.

If you go into System Preferences there is a Bluetooth preference pane. From there you should be able to do the initial detection and pair of your keyboard/mouse.

EDIT: If the virus is on the Windows partition and you delete that partition or reinstall Windows that virus will be gone.
