It's still possible that there is a memory issue even if it beeped, try starting the system after removing one of the memory sticks... then try the other one, etc.
Your system is fine.
No, you weren't hacked. And most of those infected sites won't affect a *nix machine since they aren't compatible with the linux kernel/filesystems.
Check the networking settings for each specific virtual machine. It should be set to a wired connection, should say NAT. But as long as the machine hosting the virtual environments has an internet...

Open up a bash shell (terminal), and just use the "mv" command..
Privacy on things look cookies is all browser dependent, no matter what OS you're on. Granted, Win7 has some built-in defense for it... But, any of these suggestions are good.. the firefox plugins...
A firewall can be used for a lot of things... You don't need an anti-virus, but by default Ubuntu doesn't have any ports open... However, sometimes it's good to block apps from accessing the...
