Run Browsers In the Virtual Desktop
- The 'Virtual Desktop' provides an extremely secure environment for internet related activities because it isolates your browser from the rest of your computer.
- Just by visiting them, malicious websites can install malware onto your computer that can allow hackers to steal confidential information.

- Furthermore, the virtual keyboard lets you securely enter usernames/passwords without fear of key-loggers recording what you type.
