Disposable VM Customization
============================
Security
--------
If a DVM Template becomes compromised, then any DisposableVM based on that DVM Template could be compromised.
Therefore, you should not make any risky customizations (e.g., installing untrusted browser plugins) in important DVM Templates.
In particular, the *default* DVM Template is important becuase it is used by the "Open in DispVM" feature.
This means that it will have access to everything that you open with this feature.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you base the default DVM Template on a trusted TemplateVM and refrain from making any risky customizations to it.
