Question
let me explain my problem. The wifi on my macbook suddenly stopped working so tried to use my usb wifi adapter on a linux VM. But the funny thing is that nothing works on the guest vm either...
Well funny thing because, I get an IP from my DHCP and I can connect to the internet, but only to google's websites! exemple: ping google.com = ok and ping bing.com = nok .
Obviously, the rest of my network is working fine and I only get issues on this particular mac.
Can something affect my host file or something like that on OSX and affect my linux as well ? Have you ever seen such malware? I got pirated several before!
Explanation / Answer
You might need to change some computer habits if you've been "pirated several times already", but to answer your question, yes it's definitely possible for a virus on your host to have adverse effects on a VM. The VM uses resources allocated to it by the host machine. If your Guest OS has direct access to your host file system for example, it's entirely possible to have adverse effects. Regardless, you need to clean up the host OS.
