Hello folks,
i've noticed lot of people have some problems with viruses, malware, keylogger and so on.
I got the same kind of problems in the past, and i solved quite all using several virtual machines.
So i've now a virtual computer used ONLY for money related stuff, like online banking, paypal, and so on.
A virtual computer only to run autosurfers (the best way to get some new virus!)
and other machines for different purposes.
If you guess it can be an interesting argument, i will publish here a small guide on how to find, install and manage a virtual machine.
Let me know. If there will be enough requests, i will publish the guide soon
Thanks for your time

That sounds like an interesting concept. I will have to investigate it. If you are going to publish something like a how to guide why do you not publish it in somewhere like Associated Content. The AC site should pay you for something like that probably more than here. You could refer people to it in your profile.

This sounds like a good idea to me; you should definitely post your guide. I personally have just used virtual machines just to play around with different operating systems, but I like the idea of using them to surf safely. What virtualization software do you like the best? I've only used VMWare thus far.

Happy myLotting

Hello man,
could be really nice if you could publish a short and simple guide on how to setup and use a virtual machine.
I found something some times ago on the net, but was really complex for me understand what they was saying there. Lot of techincal words, but there was not a "5 easy steps to run your virtual machine", that i guess is what people here need.
Let me know if you will publish it.
Thanks
