Hitman Pro. Alert is another Browser Protection type where it alerts when detected and recommendes to scan with HMP.

Still at beta stage.

NoScript is a great add-on if you use Firefox but other browsers' alternatives aren't.

NoScript it is a good reason to use Firefox.

Yes, but that's not the real thing...:D (I agree with Earth, on that).

From what I've gathered and taking into account that I rarely visit suspicious websites, Sandboxie will be a bit excessive for me.
So, I'll play with different combinations of these add-ons..

Timnik, most malware this days come from legit sites. My advice: Treat all sites the same. Myself, I treat all sites and programs the same. A site like The New York times can be infected so you have to be careful no matter where you go.

I know some people here make is sound like SBIE is hard to learn but that is not so. Read this thread at Wilders, you ll notice which program is the one that most people mention.
