Use a virtual machine. A virtual machine emulates another computer using software. For example, you could run a second copy of Windows inside of your Windows PC. How does this help? There are two reasons.
1) The virtual machine is treated as a separate machine from your actual PC. 2) You can shut off the virtual machine and restore it to a known state, such as the state before you browsed to the risky, overseas websites. Therefore, even if the browser inside the virtual machine is hijacked, your actual PC will be safe and you can always undo the hijack by restoring the virtual machine to its pre-hijack state. There are many free virtual machine emulators available. VirtualBox, VMWare Basic, QEMU, and Windows Virtual PC are some examples. Another option is to use Linux. Most hackers target Windows and, to a much lesser extent, Macs. Hackers rarely ever go after Linux users because the user population is infinitesimal. If you can even run Linux in a virtual machine inside a Windows PC. Ads |
