Sometimes we don't really see what our eyes are viewing. That's true with your computer screen, and it's true in nature as well. Oh sure, we can say what we think we're seeing, but we're missing the big story such as the man behind the curtain, to recall a famous phrase from an even more beloved movie.

Virtualization for security

Corrupted data files will still be corrupted.
Just rebooting (which I stated) will make RECOVERY easier, but the corrupted data files will still be lost, along with them the users work.
Now how long did it take the user to get the data into shape before it was lost?
Got every incremental backup of that data?
Was the corruption included in the backup?
Was the virus causing the corruption included in the backup?
Sorry - virtualization is not a security improvement. The base security is unchanged.
RECOVERY of the OS might be improved.
RECOVERY of the users data.... maybe not.
