For clarity: When SUBMAN1 writes "Virtual systems won't help" he is referring to just the part of actually opening the file extensions (such as .UKX). And that is true, as he states, you will still need the correct program (executable) to actually open the file whether you are running a straight OS or a virtual one.
However, for the "SAFE" part of your query, the virtual OS (the one he suggested is fine for Windows-based OS) ... yes, virtual systems will always help you on the safety issue.
Tks.
