NONOS can be employed in many real-world scenarios to provide security and peace of mind. Here are a few key use cases where NONOS shines:
Use NONOS whenever you log in to bank accounts, stock portfolios, or payment services. Even if your regular PC were unknowingly infected with a keylogger, it can’t spy on a NONOS session.
For instance, the infamous Zeus Trojan malware once stole over $70 million by recording banking passwords on infected machines. By conducting financial transactions in NONOS, you isolate those activities from any spyware on your main OS, there’s no way for a hidden logger to capture keystrokes or for a banking Trojan to inject itself.
Each time you reboot, you start from a clean slate, ensuring your sensitive login credentials and credit card details remain safe.
If you deal with crypto assets, NONOS offers a safe environment to manage wallets and execute trades.
Cryptocurrency users are a prime target for malware; some malicious apps silently monitor clipboards and replace copied wallet addresses to reroute funds. One recent campaign using a fake Tor Browser infected over 15,000 users and stole roughly $400,000 worth of crypto by doing exactly that.
Using NONOS for your crypto exchanges and wallet software mitigates this risk, the OS’s clipboard and keystrokes are walled off from the underlying PC, and nothing persists after shutdown.
You can plug in your hardware wallet or keys, do your transactions in NONOS, and know that no trojan will be able to tamper with addresses or record your seed phrase.
Crypto users are a prime target:

When you receive a dubious email attachment or need to visit a sketchy website, launch NONOS to handle the task. Security professionals often use NONOS as a disposable sandbox, you can safely open a potentially virus-laden PDF or run an unknown .exe file, and if it turns out to be malware, it will be confined to the NONOS session.
It cannot infect your real system. This is incredibly useful for journalists vetting anonymous submissions, IT admins analyzing malware samples, or anyone curious but cautious about a file’s legitimacy.
After inspection, a quick reboot of NONOS wipes away any effects of the malware. It’s like having a hazmat suit for your PC activities, when you’re done, you just discard the suit.
When traveling or using a computer you don’t fully trust (say a hotel business center PC, a library computer, or a friend’s laptop), booting into NONOS keeps you safe. You don’t have to worry about what’s installed on that public machine , keyloggers, network sniffers, or adware on the host OS can’t touch the NONOS environment.
Similarly, if multiple people share a household PC, one family member can use NONOS for their browsing session to ensure no changes carry over to the next person. Parents might have kids do homework or games in NONOS to avoid accidental malware installation on the main family OS. In all these cases, NONOS provides a trusted bubble on untrusted hardware.
You carry your security with you on the USB, and when you log off, the borrowed computer is left exactly as it was, with no personal data saved.
These use cases illustrate the flexibility of NONOS. Whether it’s protecting high-stakes financial info, adding an extra layer when dealing with unknown files, or just practicing good digital hygiene on shared devices, NONOS becomes your go-to safety net.
It adapts to scenarios big and small, whenever you need an environment you can trust, you can boot up NONOS and proceed with confidence.
