You can use this as a "protected" way to browse and do all your internet banking, inside the virtual machine and not worry about windows viruses.

Many people ask about vista as a virtual machine.

  • if i infect the virtual machine with a virus will the virus spread to my computer

  • Hi, think of a virtual machine just like another machine sitting next to you, and its connected with your own computer via a network. The only way for one machine to get the virus from another is through that network. Not impossible but not usual. Also if the client is linux as in my example, well linux cant get viruses in the first place!

  • well what r the procedures to prevent this from happening because i have fun trying to remove a virus if it doesnt have any risk

  • Hello, well if you have a firewall (even the windows one) and an antivirus on the virtual machine, and of course on your physical machine then you are protected. For Linux, you dont need protection because its immune to viruses. You can of course disable the virtual network adaptor and then the virtual machine is 100% isolated from the HOST operating system. In this case there is no way for the virtual machine to infect your real machine. People use Virtual machines to test antivirus!! programs!

  • is there a windows vista virtual appliance?-if there is where could i find it?

  • Hello I added information for vista as a virtual machine in the INFO of this video (click on more info on the top right of this page)
