Well, VMware virtual machines are allegedly 100% isolated from the host, so the MS
thing is not a huge concern to me. However, I have the safe-browsing tool
completely wiped back for the same reason as I do a number of things (mere
mention of which may set off the No Cross, No Crown alarm), which is: I'd
rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. It's largely
analogous to the well-known "Be Prepared" motto.
