I installed a program which did what i wanted it to do, but it affected the internet connection badly - it slowed it down (i think) & it meant that i couldn't connect to the internet without the program being enabled. From research, even uninstalling wouldn't fix this.
I've since formatted my HDDs.
My question is if i run a virtual machine (i have VMware player installed right now) & install this program within this virtual machine, will it affect the 'real' PC once the virtual one is shut down?
I don't fully understand how these virtual machines work, hence the question. I don't want it to alter my internet connection on my real PC any.
