Contrary to what people believe a virus can cross VM boundaries. So he is taking a pretty big risk, some viruses are clever enough to cross the VM boundary.

isn't using a computer normally already and virtual machine

Kind of. It has a folder inside the OS only for the case of locking the program from the OS. Some uses registry to install outside of the folder to gain access of the OS and can be as simple to create new paths to a fake OS folder where the virus will install and locked-in. What you should be careful are viruses who are working like virtual machines because it goes in both directions. A virtual machine can be created to trap and it can be used to override the OS. That's why you shouldn't be using virtual machines to play videogames unless you know the source of the content.

Yes it is the a virtual machine is in the strictest sense consists of multiple semantic gaps that separate each element from the rest of the system the main reason for this semantic gap is to isolate from the direct view of a user the inner workings of a system it's seamless to them.

Each layer of the "VM" consists of different functions. At the top application layer you find most high level programming languages then lower you find API functions then the Operating system at the very bottom is the physical hardware.

But virtual machines from the other perspective is designed to duplicate exactly a "generic" system with generic components that are pretty much universally compatible with whatever OS attempts to run on the virtual machine. Hardware is "obscured" and as far as an OS is concerned it thinks it's on an actual physical machine.

so mutahar (reply) and mudahar (OP) are the same person?

No idea who that is. One way to do it. Restore a backup copy of the disk each time after you visit a bad site. Then scan like crazy anyway. A little tedious but it will work. Make a new disk backup any time Windows updates.

Can also use a virtual machine. Or do both at the same time. Suspenders and a belt. (ask your parents)

Is there such a thing as a "Bios Hack" that will essentially place a newly installed machine back into the hands of malicious offenders afterwards?

There is. But that is a very sophisticated attack. Not too common. The very first thing I do with a new mommy board is to add passwords to the bios. Can they still bypass that? I dunno.
I think they can also hide in the HD bios.
