Surf the web in safety

[VJ]

Just read about this, and thought I'd share it:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/browserapp.html

This free download is basically a Linux-in-a-virtual-PC, configured to start up the webbrowser (firefox on Ubuntu). As it runs in a virtualy PC, it is fully shielded from your normal PC; it can also be set to always erase personal data after each shutdown. And as it starts up on itself, it doesn't require Linux knowledge.

Ok, it does take up a lot of diskspace, but if you crave for a fully shielded browser...

Haven't tried it yet, but thought it might interest some of you guys...

Add Tor to that, and you're really safe

Or you could run IE in VMWare. *shrug*

Well, yes... but this is preconfigured (and doesn't require a vmware license)
