What you can virtualize
Most applications can be virtualized. Typical applications include office suites, databases, Internet browsers, media, and spyware utilities. Applications function normally when virtualized by the Workspace Virtualization Agent. You can also create virtualized data layers.
What you should not virtualize
Windows operating system components
Windows operating system patches
Most drivers
Applications that have dedicated drivers (example: Client firewalls)
All management agents including antivirus software, security scanners, encryption agents, or any Symantec Management Platform Agent
Data files that you plan to encrypt
Utilities that are designed to run only in safe mode (Workspace Virtualization does not run in safe mode)
