Virtual Browser
-
Version
1.0
If your machine contains sensitive information and you
are concerned about the risk of spyware and adware,
one option is to surf the web in a Virtual Browser.
Virtual Browser allows users to securely browse the
Internet using Mozilla Firefox. Run the Virtual
Browser to protect against adware, spyware and other
malware while browsing the Internet with Firefox in a
virtual machine. As we look at the issues surrounding
malware associated with browsing, and the isolation
capability of virtualization, we have good fit for a
emerging technology to help with a persistent and
widespread problem. By using the web browser that is
running on the guest operating system as a "sandbox",
where you will do most of your browsing, you can
reduce the likelihood of picking up malware on the
host operating system. In the event you do pick up
some unwanted software, it's easy to restore the guest
operating system to a pristine state, without
affecting the host operating system.
