So in this day and age of so many online threats; malwares, ransomware, wallet stealing software, phishing, etc.

Is there a way to run something in an isolated environment where it cannot infect your actual pc or steal from hotwallet?

I saw something on virtual pc, vmware, sandboxie, and comodo sandbox, are they all the same?

Set your browser to medium security. I downloaded avast for free and it's pretty good. Never open a file or document without scanning it for viruses first.

You can use either Oracle VM Virtualbox and install another OS inside the VM, or use a sandbox such as Sandboxie.

Both of these are good options and both are free (although there are some limitations).

If you are " Windowsed" Use good antimonitoring / antikeylogger solution like SpyShelter
