I did wonder if these would be overly sluggish but I have no interest in gaming software so it should be bearable on a Mac Pro. I still think I'd probably want to install Avast for Windows and presumably make use of the Windows firewall.

I run Windows 7 Pro inside Parallels Desktop 6 with Snow Leopard, and always do SuperDuper bootable backup clones to my external firewire drive. Works great for me. Regarding Windows and anti-virus, I'd say simply install the free Microsoft Security Essentials. On my MacBook with 4 gigs of ram, I allocate 2 gigs to Parallels.
