But if the VM can access drives outside its world, then the VM can damage
the state of my
system. So this doesn't solve the problem.

Asking permission to run something doesn't allow me to control or
determine what it is
modifying or looking at. So that isn't a solution.

It isn't paranoia when they ARE out to get you, and the second time a
network attack took
me down for a week, I decided that the Internet was not safe enough to be
trusted. I have
to weigh the advantages of access to the risks, and right now, avoiding
the risks is still
winning.

Think about it: if FedEx or UPS told you they would not deliver to your
home unless you
left the front door unlocked, would you deal with them? "Don't worry, all
our drivers are
bonded and background-checked, and they won't steal from you!" Right. So
then someone
would say "But your missing out on fast deliveries by not leaving your
front door
unlocked!" Explain, please, why I should trust ANY piece of code that
comes over the
Internet, MOST ESPECIALLY on a Web page! Note that JavaVirus does not
come with digital
certificates.


Then I repeat:

Or if you are so paranoid that even these options don't work for you, get
a
second Internet connection into your home-office and hook 1 isolated PC
onto
it. You really are missing a lot on MSDN and the MVP specific sites due
to
your paranoia.
