Alright, so here's the deal. I enjoy the game Smite (Free to play 3rd person MOBA styled game).
So you know they have those 'Watch this video, get X currency, sign up for this get Y currency'.
You do? Great.
So they have offers where you can install all sorts of awesome shady software (Angry Birds Halloween, and America's favorite game Candy Shot) and they will in turn give you an amount of in game currency.
So I have two hard drives with my copy of Vista installed (Yes, I still run Vista. I'm cheap). The hard drive that I use for my main system, and the hard drive that I use in my backup system when my Gigabyte Motherboard inevitably needs to go back for for repair because the BIOS goes bad. The Hard Drive from my backup system is my storage drive when not in the backup system.
What i was thinking is, what if I booted from my backup drive, installed all this garbage, got my currency etc. As long as I don't have my main hard drive's SATA plugged in while I do this, when I go to boot from the main drive again, anything on the backup is pretty much harmless as long as I don't go clicking executables willy nilly, right?
Any thoughts, suggestions, guidance?
Thanks in advance.
