    Hello Franklin !
    Thanks for your advice. The tool sounds interesting but never ever heard before of it. I'll give it a try, too. If it really does it all we can forget more or less all viruses, trojans, malwares etc.

    Let's see what happens to my PC :)

    I tried to access by clicking on the link, nothing, page can not be displayed. Used cut and paste and it worked. I'll wait until I hear more reviews on it, sounds interesting though.

    Hmm, not that many dl's. If it is as good as it says in the user's page, this would be great thing. I wonder why it's not more popular?

    I tested it and posted it more on its potential, then its functionality now. It is a great idea that works well, but still has a way to go. A program like this either fizzles or becomes a gem.

    You wrote this clear back in 2006. I am wondering what you or any of the major geeks think of this program now. I want some advice from folks that I can believe. Considering how malware problems have become a major bane, I am wondering how the malware folks feel about it too.

    Currently, I use a program that opens my webrowser and then does specialized searching. If I find something I need, I copy this information to one of my databases.

    I am wondering if can I put all my web browser in SandboxIE and when my session is over, just close the box and most of the junk from the internet would be gone, but the data I saved in my data files would be saved?

    Is this just too good to be true?

    Sounds like an interesting program. I've never heard of it. It has a lot of downloads through the MG link.

    If you want to see if people have used it, you may want to post your question in a new thread (people tend to ignore 4 year old threads) in the Software forum with the link to the MG download.
