Virus and
malware problems plague most people on their computers today. Even with up to
date virus and malware scanners and software, there are times where certain
files that are downloaded to the computer will still cause some serious
problems for your machine. At times these viruses, malware, and trojans
completely lock you out of your operating system completely destroying your
computer. Is there any way to stay safe while surfing the internet?
One way of
staying completely safe is to not surf the internet with your main operating
system. This might seem confusing and difficult but it is not. The concept is
to use a virtual machine to run a different operating system on your machine
and only surf the internet from that one. If there is a problem where you do
get a virus or malware, it will be only attached to that virtual machine and
not effect your main operating system.
Many use
programs like VM Ware and VirtualBox as well as Linux distributions to
accomplish this on their system for free. It will take a little of learning,
but once set up you will be protected better than you are surfing the internet
on your main operating system.
These programs
have seamless modes meaning that you will be able to run that operating system
and the browser in it just like a normal program but will have the ease knowing
you are safe. The downside is that this will take up more ram than needed for
just a browser. If you are on a machine with quite a bit extra ram, this can be
done. On an older machine this will not work too well at all.
You can surf the
internet in your virtual machine so that you can keep your computer safer from
all the malicious programs that are trying to ruin your machine.
