Msg: Re: Xy4 on Win 8 /VMware / Win2K

Whatever your VM solution of choice happens to be, so long as you are using W2K -- or very soon to be, XP -- as your "Guest" Windows, there ought to be some way of denying internet access to the Guest OS, while hopefully placing no such blackout onto the Host OS that is running the VM. *That* is the security / AV consideration. Absent this, I would only want to be running the VM with my ethernet cable unplugged, or wifi turned Off. Inconvenient, but doable.

No, I'm afraid it means you're not fine.

Unless you want to be *off* the internet.
