- 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 viruses malware, rootkits and spyware on your computer.
- Surfing from the virtual desktop removes this threat because websites cannot access your local computer to install malware.
- Furthermore, the virtual keyboard lets you type usernames and passwords without fear that keyloggers will record your keystrokes.
