Hi, this is a problem first time I met. Do you know how this happens?
I have a Win7 Pro with xp mode installed which is the Window Virtual PC’s OS. In my case, I have 1 normal window and 1 virtual OS xp mode installed in the same hard disk. Basically, they are working separately in ideal case.
I used the xp mode as a sandbox area for my testing purpose, such as installing new software which I never heard of it. Because I don’t want my Win7 Pro being messed up by those new things, so I will do all the testing works in the xp mode first.
I installed BG-IS 12 in my regular Win7 Pro and a free version brand A security program in the xp mode. (Yeah, I know I don’t have to protect the xp mode well because in any time if the xp mode is being corrupted, I can easily un-installed it and than re-installed a new, clean one to the Window Virtual PC.) Not a big deal to do that, it just takes 10 mins for the work. But I still installed the brand A AV on xp mode because I would like to treat it as an extra OS to be used. A lot of programs have been installed on my xp mode as well. It takes me time to install all programs back if I remove the xp mode and put a new one back. That is why I want to keep my xp mode working properly.
One day a funny thing happened. I was browsing the internet with ie 9 and all a sudden BG-IS 12 helped me blocking a malware link with a suggested warning page. This was normal and I saw that many times already. I was glad that BG-IS 12 just saved me again from that malware link. Then, I was curious about the free brand A AV on the Virtual xp mode, would it be smart enough to do the same thing as BG-IS 12 did. So, I copied and pasted the malware link onto xp mode’s ie and saw how the brand A AV reacted. The most possible outcome was, either brand A AV blocked the malware link or no response from brand A AV and then the malware web page was going to be open and my xp mode was going to be infected by that. However, an impossible result was just being happened. BG-IS 12 was jumping over to catch the bad guy. I meant it was crossing over 2 OS, from the Win7 Pro to the virtual xp mode to block that malware link. Brand A AV could not do any response yet, since that link already been blocked by BG-IS 12. This is amazing. My question is: how come this can be happened ? I don’t even installed any BG-IS in the xp mode, how come BG can jump over 2 OS to do the blocking job in xp mode where I never installed BG-IS ? It will cost me another license, right ? Yeah, I am glad to see BG catching the bad guy, but not in this circumstance which I did not expect.
I don’t know much about the xp mode and windows relationship. This shows that they may not be completely separated. Otherwise, BG-IS cannot perform such job. I guess they may be connected in some ways which I have no idea at all.
Please tell me, if you know what this is all about. I would be grateful if this phenomenon could be explained.
Thanks a lot.
