    Malware Infecting all Virtual Machines


    Has anyone else been experiencing issues with malware infecting all your machines including android phones and apple iphones? I’ve been narrowing it down for the last two months, and I’m not sure how it got started but it’s spreading through out the entire house basically virtualizing everything. What it does is installs a kernel of their choice alongside a Security enhanced Linux to provision what you can and can’t do, and put you inside an “apartment” of your OS. Every time I do a clean install even after DoDing the drives prior to, it ends up the same way. It configures the windows registry

    :)

    I was hoping someone could give me a list of step by step instructions you use as a guide to clean virus, malware...etc. so I can keep my PC clean if it gets infected.

    thx

    Virtual machine

    Thank you for the explanation it is quite difficult for the average person to grasp in any case virtualization must be enabled in UEF I correct ?
    I think I will copy a tutorial with virtual machine and Ubuntu

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sorry to pester but I had a second thoughts about the VM.
    In my first post of this thread I expressed a concern about the Windows sandbox getting infected via a network.
    Is the same thing true with a VM say Virtual Box or VM Ware so that they too can be infected by malware through a network or any way?
    Is Virtual machine any safer than Window's sandbox?.
    I have watched tutorials where a person tests viruses on the VM than closes it and the PC is not infected. I don't understand how they can be not affected. I would like to test programs but not at the risk of getting infected.
    So is a VM immune or not?
    TY

    Malware Infecting all Virtual Machines

    Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

    Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

    The three most popular choices are:

    • VirtualBox (from Oracle)
    • VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
    • Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

    Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

    As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

    Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
    paid version.
