It's cheap and it works. I started using it after I got sick and tired of having to clean up malware. A lot of times, you sit around wondering if you are infected and don't even know it. Are you? anyway, I got sick of it and I won't use a web browser anymore unless it runs in a sandbox. I highly encourage people to investigate and use this. There is a 30 day free trial... just google the program name.
This is no substitute for keeping your PC patched up to date, but it takes all the worry out of using email or web browsers.
You don’t have to use a web browser to be infected with malware.

Keeping your PC patched up to date is important but that’s not enough.
How many folks are reading this whilst [needlessly] logged in using a UserID that has Administrative privileges [by default] assigned to it?
Or without a firewall and up to date virus protection?
Or without the most recent OS security patches applied by the Automated Updated Utility, that’s signed by Microsoft... or not?
I did find it conflicted with AVG and a couple of other anti-virus programs. Those programs started incorporating a variant sandboxing capability that messed up Sandboxie. Solution: MS Essentials, it works compatibly with Sandboxie.

I also recently added another program that my bank website recommends. It is Rapport. It basically creates a ‘tunnel’ between your computer and any specified website (banking or other password websites).

I also use an add-on/extension that works with Firefox and IE. The pay versions work with additional browsers. It is Keyscrambler. It encrypts most of what you type into your browser.

I also recently installed DoNotTrack Plus. It blocks many of the tracking cookies various websites put on one’s computer. It works with both Firefox and IE.
