[QUOTE="Ink, post: 770972, member: 3"] If you suspect you have some unwanted adware or malware, clean install the OS. But if your main system is secure and malware-free, you should have no problems. A VM is still susceptible to malware, phishing and scams. Linux cannot prevent phishing websites, you can however install trusted web browser extensions to flag and block them. You get some "secure browsers", but I don't know how effective they actually are. For example; Avast Secure Browser. [/QUOTE]
