Got this from my Dad this morning (Monday, 30Aug04). Seems like it would be a MASSIVE resource hog... but, you gotta admit that the idea sounds interesting.

Revolutionizing PC Security ***************************
Israeli start-up SecureOL has developed ground-breaking technology that provides an online security solution for PCs that protects against any form of attack, whether a virus, worm, Trojan horse or malicious code - all without having to constantly defend against new virus mutations. In addition, SecureOL's technology can provide complete protection from intellectual property theft, fraud, cyber crime and cyber terrorism.
SecureOL's technology essentially isolates the virus or other hostile program automatically in its own "environment", separate from the other programs running on the PC, where it executes itself without causing any damage. Pioneering the concept of "Security by Virtualization", SecureOL's innovative approach segregates each running program from the others, as if each is running on a separate computer. The user is oblivious to the product's operation, which functions in the background, as each virtual environment operates simultaneously, without interference from the other environments and without harming the PC.
The company claims that its platform "will set a new world standard for computer security" in that it completely shifts the paradigm of PC security from upgrading defenses to neutralizing the dangers altogether.
SecureOL has already introduced its first product to market - VE2 , which is being marketed in Israel by DataSec, one of Israel's largest IT service companies.
SecureOL is in the final stages of its incubation at the Mofet B'Yehuda Technological Incubator in the Kiryat Arba region.
