[QUOTE="Solarquest, post: 232487, member: 25489"] N.nvt, thank you! Yesterday I forgot one question, what about the router? How safe/weak is it? How can you protect if from malware that attemps to change the settings? First step is to change User name and password, second to update the firmware , but then, whan can be done? :) What about Bios, Cmos and MBR? How can they be protected and/or backed up? For the VM, if internet access is blocked, then many pcs of malware might not activate nor download other malware and show all capabilities, same for the AV that cannot check using the cloud..... Using firewall on guest and host, NAT and VPN allow a relatively safe way to grant access to internet without compromising too much the security of the network (with Static IP)? [/QUOTE]
