XP in a Virtualbox.

Hi,

If I install windows XP in a virtualbox, will this make Xp more secure?

Thanks in advance.

Is it still connected to the internet via your VM? If so..then no - the XP VM could still get compromised...doesn't matter if it's a VM or not - it's still connected to a network.

There's also known malware that can transfer from the VM to the host OS and infect it, so that's something else to keep in mind.

Is there a reason you need XP?
