Hi. I think the Readme file is a little vague about the purpose of this project. I guess that it prevents the apps running on the guest to realize that they are running on a virtual machine. Is that right? Thanks

Hello. This is antivm detection patch for VirtualBox which is mostly intended to help reversing malware samples that aware of VM.

Thanks. So I understood it right? It prevents some softwares from detecting that they are inside a virtual machine? (Some time ago I had this problem. A program for Windows was not working in virtualbox).

This patch should be installed on the guest OS?

Yes.
