VM is a virtual machine that resided in your computer but is isolated from the rest of your computer.
You can load OS from the ancient days to play your favorite games or us it to test other software without compromising your machine.
When your actual computer sees the VM it only sees an executable for VM and not the load inside.
You can run all your programs in VM mode and it the VM OS is compromised you simply load a backup copy that is clean and keep on keeping on.
