Makes sense. That is good advice but as oconnore pointed out that even a VM can be exploited, though I think your solution would work well in the majority of cases. I suppose using a virtual copy of Windows in my OS X wouldn't be 100% safe because of the exploit. I suppose I'll be getting out my old Dell Windows XP machine then to test this out until I am sure it is safe (which I imagine it is but who knows), and if something happens to it then I'll just wipe the drive and re-install Windows. Poison Ivy seems like it would be an awesome tool to know which would be worth my time.
