Does running windows on a mac leave your mac open to virus attacks?

The short answer is "yes", but the truth is a bit more complicated. When you run Windows on Mac OS X, there's a layer in-between called a "virtual machine". Parallels is one popular virtual machine. VMWare is another. The Windows copy, and the Windows applications you run on it, are open to the same vulnerabilities that they would be if you ran them on a "real" machine (like a desktop PC). If you connect your "virtual machine" to the Internet without a firewall, your virtual machine could be affected by malicious code. It won't directly affect your Mac, but it could use up resources that your Mac applications also use. For example, some malware might use network bandwith by sending spam constantly. While your virtual machine is running that malware, it will also be using network bandwidth. Shutting down the virtual machine will (temporarily) stop it.

How do you install Windows XP Windows 2000 and Windows 98 software on Windows 7?

If I understand your question correctly, you already have Windows 7 on your PC, and you also want to have Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 98 running as well. The easiest way to do this would be to install a virtual machine and operating system. I recommend VMWare Player, which is a free virtualizing system which is compatible with just about any "guest" OS. For example, I have two flavors of Linux and Windows 98 running as virtual machines on my XP host machine. Other options would include the Sun VirtualBox, or Microsoft Virtual Server. I think VMWare Player is the easiest and most reliable.
