scifi's sorta safety system

Have you considered using a VM for the extra software you download from Giveaways?

Actually I have. But it really isn't needed. The giveaways are all benign. Or at least they have been up to now. I probably shouldn't have said that. Most everything is from Giveawayradar. The people running these giveaway websites would be closed down the next day that there was a hint of a virus/trojan/worm/etc introduced by their offerings. And then would come the lawsuits.......

Most (if not all) of the giveaway websites you typically see on this forum are trustworthy, and sponsored by the software companies who developed the product themselves.

I think the point @Huracan was trying to make is that if you use the Virtual Machines to test or use those products for a bit, you will not have the headache of having to uninstall and clean up after doing so.

SO very true. But I like messy. Go figure.

In that case, look into Geek Uninstaller to make uninstalling easier and cleaner. Portable and great.

Nice configuration, thanks for sharing.
