Protection From Malware (Windows Users)

[Love]

I thought I would share a cool method that I use to protect myself from all instances of Windows malware. I have been using Microsoft Windows for over 18 years, and I very much doubt that I will ever upgrade from Windows 7 (not interested in touch screen technology AT ALL). Inside Windows, I use the virtualisation software "Oracle VirtualBox". Inside the virtual hard disk drive, I have installed Linux Mint (an outstanding distribution of Linux in my view), into which I have installed WINE, so that I can launch Windows applications from within the virtual instance of Linux Mint. It is extremely unlikely that a piece of Windows Malware will be able to perform operations outside of WINE, let alone getting beyond the virtual Linux Mint installation; the Windows 7 host will be 100% protected. If anybody uses software that is very likely to contain malware (such as serial generators et cetera), I strongly suggest this method.
