Do virtualization software make impact on hard disc

[Spirit]

Hello,
I am not the big fan of virtualization software so i dont install it on my pc.I want a suggestion from you for my younger cousin computer.I want to install some virtualization software on his home computer that it can be restored in actual position after they have some nasty surfing/downloading on machine

I have two queries:
1... Does this type of software make impact on Hard disc life.
2...which one i install on his pc(i have license of all this)
a)shadow defender
b)wondershare time freeze
c)toolwiz time freeze
d)other(please specify)


Thanks for your suggestion in advance


Huh I forgot to mention Bufferzone

1. They don't make an impact on the lifetime of an HDD.
2. I liked Sandboxie and Bufferzone, see which one you like best.

Shadow Defender and Sandboxie, both are light on system

Mine would have to be Sandboxie and Bufferzone. When I did that test on the 64 bit Bufferzone, worked well and performed well.
