And if any of it is true, they'll be the ones wondering why they didn't get taken because they're such good little christians.

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There's probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn't that great).

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don't really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it's probably ok. I'm sure there's some other good ones out there. I've heard of ESET and virustotal, but I'm not familiar.

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it's free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I'll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It's a lot of extra work for no gain, but I'd rather be too careful than risk installing malware.

This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I'm concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I'll detach and mount it to the host.

3 weeks and ~90 hours in. Currently speedrunning new game+ to get that level 99 achievement. After 90 ish it's pretty slow.

Hence...grain of salt

Saw on another post that the new price point they are looking at is $599. Nothing confirmed so take with a grain of salt.

New isekais coming out daily, it's out of hand.

I just wrote a PowerShell script to do this for my pictures comparing file names and sizes. Should be able to find something similar with a search. Might not work for what you're looking for unless they were exact copies though.
