Hey, sounds nice in theory.... HOWEVER...

• Loaded it up and it's a huge RAM hog. Sucks up all available RAM to start, sucks up all available RAM when launching the 'protected browser' and when doing any changes.
  
• Pages are slow to load in protected mode.
  
• And provided false information (perhaps -- see screenshot)
  

Needless to say, it's now gone from my system for the time being.

Well, went to uninstall this thing and it screwed with my system. It closed down the Samurize widget that I'm running and hung my system for 3 minutes.

It also for some unknown reason installed a second 'Show Desktop' button on my quick launch bar.

Was about to force a hard shutdown, but finally came back. But it did NOT uninstall (this was from the Programs List).

Finally got rid of it through the Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

From my point of view I'm now going to avoid this like the plague. Gets a HUGE 3 thumbs DOWN from me.

Cheers :wave:

Sounds like a sandbox.
