Hi everybody, I wanted to download Windows 2000 from your website, but I saw the following message on the webpage:

What does it mean? Is the file a virus?

It's because of the "hypervisor exploit", which means that malware and viruses can come and infect your system via a VM without proper protection for the VM itself.
I've been using a Win2000 VM for eight years and I have Kerio Personal Firewall installed for it, which keeps me protected should I browse the internet with it.
