> Woops- i shoudla kept reading lol- why not use it online?

I have another computer for online activities.

> The snapshots in Vm should protect it if it becomes infected-

Sort of. Not “protect” but revert. A minor inconvenience, well worth it.

> and once you disconnect, you can revert to earlier time quickly- are there more dangers liek viruses breaking through VM’s and infection the host?

None that I know of but that’s why I do backups on the host too.

So yeah, you’re basically right. :-)
