VMware is your friend.

You confine casual web surfing and such to one virtual machine, anything related to money in a different virtual machine, and finally a virtual machine for poker.

This sounds interesting, can anyone who has used it comment on this program?

Yes, this is a good idea and something I have been doing for years. It is not gaming friendly, i.e. wow, etc, but will work great for poker.

If you need more than one monitor you will need the not free workstation version.

Is there any security risk in browsing the internet if you don't click on links or download anything?

maybe i'm wrong, but i'm just convinced that every person who gets hacked did something dumb like download something they should have known they shouldn't.

Good program I stick on all my installs now is snoopfree, it stops malicious programs from hooking into your keyboard/screen grabs: www.snoopfree.com

There is a good thread in the software forum about securing your computer.
