ALL I can say is WOW... This reminds me of the medical fiel where everyone is making everything so complicated, when in fact it is right before their eyes and can't see it..
I especially like this part of the patent....
The isolated operating environment includes along with the second operating system, the SOS's associated software applications, such as a browser and e-mail applications. Other software applications may be included within the isolated operating environment under control or the SOS, including word processing, spread-sheet, games and other software applications as a user may desire. Inclusion of these other software applications is limited only by the size of the isolated operating environment, the design parameters of the secondary operating system and the system specification of the user's computer.
The present invention includes a method for securing the primary data on a personal computer from intrusion by malicious code derived from an external data source. Generally, the method comprises the steps of: first installing a software application embodying the present inventive software on the subject computer. Then the software application is executed to initially establish the isolated operating environment on the computer, the isolated operating environment including a secondary operating system, and ready for activation. Subsequently initiating an external data source interface session activates further execution the software application, including allocating volatile memory (in RAM) and temporary data storage (on a data storage device) to the secondary operating system. Once the isolated operating environment conditions are set and control of the computer vested in the SOS, connectivity with the external data source is established under control of the secondary operating system. This isolates all operative communication with the external data source to the secondary operating system contained within the isolated operating environment, which secures the data and file structure of the primary operating system of the computer from intrusion from the external data source, or any other user activities occurring in the isolated operating environment under control of the SOS.
