Thanks for the link, though this program apears to be only virtualized
browsing, which technically can be achieved through ie7 and protected
mode i would think..

I mean more for x64 vista and process isolation though.

Cheers

I am testing this as I write. It does exactly as it states.

If I choose to save a link from the web page to my desktop the link is not
there when I close down the browser. Anything that happens while you are
browsing just disappears when you close down the browser. Even a
purposefully introduced virus from a known infector web site was not on my
system.

So far - I like it! I have even turned off protected mode in IE because it
is now duplicated in ZA Forcefield. If this program keeps on protecting as
it seems to do I believe the chance of being infected through the internet
is greatly diminished.

So do you think it can run an application exe from within the browser,
essentially isolating that process? IE: notepad.exe for example.

If so then this could be useful, though oddly achieved, ie: via a
browser interface that is, rather than right clicking an exe in the
explorer interface and saying "Run sandboxed".
