![]() Some folks have suggested that with such a setup one doesn't need anti-malware software. Many malwares do that, set up a file to run on restart and finish the infection process. Makes it very difficult to infect the OS immediately, and afaik impossible to set something inside C: partition to run on restart. If any software worth saving comes along, it is saved to a different partition on this HDD, or to an external USB HDD, and it can be reinstalled permanently later.įor an additional layer of safety, I only run portable browsers inside Sandboxie while the OS is virtualized. Only thing is, if any updates come along while your OS is running virtualized, you'll have to do them again after the next restart. So the anti-malware softwares and the OS are up to date (edit: and stay up to date while the OS is running virtualized). So I start the computer, update any software that needs it, disconnect from the net, then activate Powershadow or Shadow Defender, then go about business as usual. What that means is that after they are activated, any changes to the OS partition are gone when you restart. When these softwares are activated, the operating system runs in virtual mode. Powershadow is free, Shadow Defender is not. For windows xp I use Powershadow, and for win 7 Shadow Defender.
