Virtual Browsers: Anonymous Web Proxies: Safest?
I recently had an incident with a trojan and am getting more aware of
safe hex. Safe Surfing.
I run WinXP with Defender as well as PC Tools Antivirus and Spyware
Doctor. My server offers McAffee and i will probably move over there.
What remains is safe hex.
This question concerns safe hex. I have seen a couple of Virtual
Browsers such as Green Borders and Sandboxie. I have also recently
renewed an old interest in Anonymous Web Proxies like Jaxxax.com.
QUESTION (1): Is there a strong perception that either Virtual
Browsers (Green Borders etc.), or Anonymous Web Proxies are safer,
less penetrable, better in general?;
QUESTION (2): I see that Jaxxax will get me to Google, or Yahoo, etc,
and that such search engines function after being invoked by Jaxxax.
So, if, say, i go to Jaxxax and then to Google, and from Google, I use
Google's search to get me to, say, Fox News, am i still free from
cookies and scripts and so on, when i read on through Fox? I did not
call up Fox from Jaxxax, i went to Fox from the Google browswer--so am
I protected, or out in the wild? Is that Fox viewing totally subject
to every problem that i would have without any AWP?
i hope this can be answered and if I am unclear, i would like to
present more so it can be.
Thanks and Best!
