[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 770924"] It's a good idea if you have good enough system resources for it, but bear in mind, it doesn't automatically keep you safe. If you're going to use a VM for carrying out banking transactions, use a snapshot which is clean to revert back to for each banking session. It only takes a few seconds to create and revert with one using VirtualBox or VMWare. Unless you really need to, don't use Windows on a VM for this, it isn't necessary. Go for Linux instead... or even ChromeOS (customized Linux distribution) if you can get that to work. You can find tutorials on YouTube for setting up a VM - they will be more than sufficient.
