[QUOTE="NormanF, post: 1041131, member: 69126"] If you run a browser in an isolated environment, if its infected by malware, that malware persists only in your container unless you're foolish enough to download it to your real desktop downloads folder. Which would defeat the purpose of ReHIPS or for that matter, any security software that had built-in virtualization. Goes without saying the weakest link here isn't the software but you blindly trusting anything that pops up during Internet surfing. Safe computing habits matter as much if not more than what security software you have installed on your PC. Which at best is only an aid in helping you decide what should be and what shouldn't be allowed to run on your system. [/QUOTE]
