Instead, I recommending <a href="http://www.securitynowblog.com/endpoint_security/dual-web-browsers-can-avoid-information-disclosures" rel="nofollow">using two or more separate web browsers</a>. This compartmentalizes your highly sensitive, sensitive, and 'recreational' web browsing activities. Placing all of the web browsers 'under guard', with something like AppGuard, prevents any nasties from escaping the confines of the web browser in terms of malware infestation. Guarding these browsers with privacy mode, provides an added protection of denying them access to specified folders without explicit user-permission, to prevent data leakage and ransom attacks. At any one time, I usually have two or three different web browsers running.

It used to be the case that you had to accidentally click an exe or other program file, or at least click a pop-up or false system screen. Now, just visiting the wrong page can infect you. Do you recommend a specific browser for avoiding these threats? These jscript viruses are terrifying to me.
