Hello everyone,
I recently heard that a host PC is unaffected from viruses that have infected a virtual machine on that PC? How can this be the case, as both share the same hardware?

It is not completely true. If host and guest have same OS (i.e. Windows) and you configured a shared folder, a virus can pass from guest to host. Moreover a well written malware could still “jump” from guest to host also with no shared folder.
So always keep antivirus running on a windows host.
