Methods and systems are disclosed for opening unverified content in a separate, disposable virtualized environment using a temporary virtual machine (VM). In one example, the disclosed method includes intercepting a request to open/access unverified content from a third-party remote server, and comparing the particular information/attributes of the unverified content against predetermined criteria. Then, the user device may connect using a remote presentation protocol to the temporary VM in the separate, disposable environment such that the output of the unverified content may be transported to and displayed in the separate, disposable environment. The connection with the temporary VM may be terminated and the separate, disposable environment may be wiped clean to reduce the risk of malicious code in the unverified content.
