Security is an oft-debated topic in the ongoing browser wars <http://www.pcworld.com/article/222948/firefox_4_nears_6_million_downloads_as_browser_wars_heat_up.html>, but there's no denying that malware is a common problem for all of the leading contenders.
A new solution launched this week by German Sirrix AG <http://www.sirrix.de/>, however, uses Firefox 4 <http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/223079/why_firefox_4_is_winning_the_browser_battle.html>, Linux and virtualization to create what it calls a "browser in a box" that keeps all malware isolated and out of the user's main operating system.
Originally created at the request of the German federal government, BitBox <http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.sirrix.de/content/pages/57064.htm&usg=ALkJrhhqiyXXi4jGbq0RUPMHqfi348qrog> (short for "browser in the box") runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 as well as Debian Linux, Ubuntu <http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/226530/ubuntu_1104_natty_narwhal_makes_splashy_debut.html>, OpenSUSE and Gentoo, allowing users to surf the Web worry-free, Sirrix says.
