[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 770973, member: 37647"] I don't really agree with the whole idea of banking in a VM. Why? Because it is inconvenient and resource-hogging to fire up a special VM every time you want to access a financial site. You would only do such a thing if you suspected that your system is infected. Better to put your efforts into protecting your system from infection in the first place, otherwise you are just swatting flies, to which there is no end. The flies just keep on coming, if you have holes in your screens. Slap a good default-deny solution on your system, and you won't have to worry about flies. [/QUOTE]
