Hello everyone, I just bought Win7 pro-64 bit laptop and I'm wondering if I install a virtual machine will it protect my host operating system against attacks (wifi included). I think I remember seeing a hyper-v video where there was a option to allow only the guest virtual machine to access the network while leaving the host OS disconnected from all traffic (correct me if I'm wrong). Since I have Win-7 without the hyper-v software, do any of the other free hypervisors offer this ? Also, I was thinking a alternative option would be to block "ALL" traffic through the host firewall while allowing the guest firewall freedom.
EDIT: Another question...if I disable the network adapter from within the host will it disconnect the virtual machine and vise versa since they're bridged ?
Thanks for any help !
