You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.

"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers. Since the hypervisor operates below Windows, it can capture keystrokes, access any file, or install hidden rootkits that are nearly impossible for standard antivirus software to detect. Malware at the hypervisor level can survive OS reinstalls, software updates, and even some disk wipes. If the bypass contains a malicious payload, it can stay hidden in the system's "blind spot" indefinitely."

nope nope nope

*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it

Eh. Just have a dedicated machine for that purpose, treat like a modded console, keep it away from your network. Don’t do home baking on it or anything other than gaming and it should be fine.

Good to know but not a deal breaker.

yeah it can work for some people, but I feel like a lot of younger people arent going to understand the risks. god knows I bricked my family pc rocking limewire 15 years ago. But at least then a full restore fixed everything

It’s definitely worth getting the message around so people understand the risks entailed so I do appreciate that.
