Avoid getting any viruses when getting free ZP
Ok so i saw this comment by:
So i was thinking why not make a tutorial to show you guys how to make a virtual PC
NOTE: in this tutorial i will provide some videos i FOUND on Youtube that helped me make a virtual PC
you cannot open a crossfire client on a virtual pc so don't bother trying it.
Almost forgot.
To make a virtual pc you will need an OS CD (Ex: Windows XP, Vista, 7 etc..)
Lets begin.
Virtual pc's are pretty basic
you can't do lots of stuff on a virtual pc
they are mainly made to try an OS or some features without harming your own real PC.
I bet you are wondering by now how to make one...
Simple go to THIS link and download Virtual PC
Then go to youtube and type in virtual pc
then look for the OS you are going to install and the video will show you how to install it until the end.
The main goal or aim of this tutorial is to help you avoid the free zp viruses and stuff.
Buying is safe.
I would do the free stuff on a virtual pc to avoid trouble with viruses, or use some live dist (http://www.slax.org/)

I think this is the easiest way to avoid unnecessary OS installtimes.

- Find a guide on how to install, its easy. Requires 85MB hdd.

- Download the ISO, not the TAR.
Start it from within VirtualBox, the previously used guide will probably instruct you how.
Slax is a live distribution, no installations needed.
Keep in mind that anything you do virtually is only done virtually, harming your own PC is highly unlikely.
Actually, I'm not sure how respective site handle it not being installed on a computer running Windows..
I'll try it.
