I got affected by a nasty fake antivirus tool yesterday. I was using Windows Vista and I had Microsoft Security Essentials installed, but they were no use.
My question is: if I run Ubuntu Linux inside Windows as a Virtual PC, and if I use this Linux machine to connect to the Internet, will I be able to prevent virus attacks?
I think Windows will be sandboxed by the virtual PC software, so I will be able to enjoy the protection of Linux and the use of Windows at the same time.
