Good Morning,

Can someone point me in the right direction, or explain in easy terms what 'virtualising code' means? Maybe a small example? Thank you.

Enjoy the day,
Earl

This program virtualizes the code by transforming machine code into another format that is run
on a 'virtual machine/cpu'.

So in this case to virtualize the code is simply to translate the machine code into a different
instruction set that is run on a virtual machine/cpu.

Here is the form where you choose the kind and level of virtualization.

Take note that the option in the red box have to be selected by PureBasic users (thats what the tooltip says).

Good Morning,

Thank you Utopiomania and Ricardo. This is enlightening. Does anyone have an idea on how a simple virtual machine can be set up for obfucating code? This sounds like it would be an interesting hobby project for a code junkie.

Enjoy the day,
Earl
