VMLAB launches iPisa

Virtual Machine Laboratories announced the beta release of interactive Pluggable Internet Security Assistant (iPisa) - a new generation Internet security add-on.

Unlike the anti-xxx security tools, iPisa makes no attempts to perfect the impossible tasks of keeping an Internet connected personal computer free from corruptions and malwares such as virus, adware, spyware and trojan.

With iPisa, there is no need to shy away from the reality of Mean-Time-Between-Hacked (MTBH). Instead, users can choose to revert to their originally infection-free virtual machines like Windows XP almost instantly by issuing just a few keystrokes whenever the need arises. This deceptively simple technique effectively creates an endless supply of clean disposable virtual PCs for the users.

Additionally, iPisa frees the users from using the same decaying PC environment for both casual Internet browsing and sensitive on-line financial transactions. Instead, users can set up and use separate isolated virus-free virtual machines for those differing tasks.

The included pluggable iptables firewalls reduce the chances of an iPisa-enabled computer from spreading a worm to or acquiring one from the immediately connected local area network (LAN).
