GreenBorder Pro

GreenBorder Pro uses virtualisation-like technologies to separate IE from the rest of the system, so that if malicious software does execute, it doesn't actually touch the computer.

GreenBorder Pro won't scour your computer and remove evil programs — that's not its job. But when it's actively patrolling Microsoft Internet Explorer's borders, any malware that tries to install itself or glom onto your personal information will fail. Period. The software insulates IE from the rest of your system by using virtual-machine techniques.

Changes made by malicious code during an IE session are automatically erased when the user logs off or clicks the "Clean and Reset GreenBorder" button. During an internet session with GreenBorder engaged, a small green frame encloses IE.

Just a note... Virtualization products are like latex gloves, not shots. You use them to handle potentially infectious content. Because they're a proactive tool and are not signature based, they don't detect or repair existing infections. So don't use gloves (Virtualization) instead of shots (AntiVirus, AntiSpyware). Use them together.

And you'll need to take an extra step or two when installing legitimate software from the Internet — GreenBorder will automatically assume it's malicious.

Firefox users may also use GreenBorder Pro to protect themselves against exploits encountered online or hidden inside downloaded files.
