I have installed Virtual PC w/windows XP pro. Now should I be
concerned about installing a anti-virus program or even a spyware
program?

Thanks, Randy

Only if you're using the Internet within VirtualPC or are downloading
strange files from the Internet on the Mac side and then transferring
them into VirtualPC, or are recieving strange files on disk / CD / DVD
from "friends".

If you're simply using VirtualPC as a completely standalone system,
then you do not need any anti-virus, etc. since there's no way the
nasty can get into your pretend Windows computer.
