Wait what about internal devices ? Like disk. I can't disable NVME in BIOS unfortunately. Couldn't bios be reflashed from disk, before bootup ? So you say even Qubes doesn't protect against firmware viruses, if they are already there. As i am running main Windows and wanted to use Qubes from rom cd in external mechanic. So if i had already firmware virus, even that's very unlikely. Qubes wouldn't protect me in such scenario. Correct ? Than probably best idea would be to use my old computer, disconnect disks and use one of the Linuxes people above suggested just for online banking. And use dedicated mouse and keyboard for that and external cd rom. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
