Hello All, We have an early release of consumer desktop safety software that I'd like some feedback on. http://www.greenborder.com/earlyaccess/ Our software runs on XP SP2, and creates an application-level virtual environment primarily (for now) for Internet Explorer. This prevents modification of the base system by any content in the virtual environment. We refer to the virtual environment as 'x-space', or 'within GreenBorder'. We apply access control from the virtual environment to; the filesystem, registry, user shell, COM objects, and system calls. Although only Internet Explorer and applications which open downloaded attachments are supported, other applications can be launched in the GreenBorder environment. Any processes running or temporary files or temporary registry entries are wiped from the virtual environment by an application reset. Files can be saved to a specific directory only, and applications in this environment are prevented from reading files outside this one directory (applies confidentiality). We don't determine what application running in the virtual environment is malicious or not, so therefore this is not a replacement for signature based protection systems. Most anything can run in the environment, it just can't modify local resources. This is great protection for 0-day exploits, and lets administrators wait to apply patches off-hours. Hammer on our software by running malware of your choice in the software environment. Please email me or the marketing email of your results. If you're running intensive tests, I would still recommend using a scratch system. We also have an enterprise version which uses a central whitelist to determine in which environment to open a site requested or Outlook message received.
