Does Virtual PC protect me from malware?

I'm looking for a secure way to do online banking.
I thought I'd load win2k on vitrual PC and use that.
If I never go anywhere else, I shouldn't acquire
any malware.
But...
If there's a keylogger on the host OS, VirtualPC won't
protect me against that at all??? yes, no?

Anything I can do to make my virtual machine secure?
Thanks, mike

Yes, use a Linux VM. Download a freely available easy to use
distribution such as Ubuntu and use that.

Problem solved. Then you get the benefits of Unix / Linux security and
Microsoft usability and software availability.

That's what we do.
