I need to run a program, but I don't trust the author. I think it is infected with spyware, viruses, or malicious files. I scanned it and didn't find anything, but I'm still not feeling good about it.
So I was thinking to create another Windows user account.
- Will viruses on one account infect the second account? Do I have to scan both user accounts?
- And if I removed the account infected, will viruses be removed from the PC?
If that won't work then:
- Is there any "sandbox" to do some testing and insure that you're PC is safe?
- Is Virtualbox an option?
I have Windows 7.
