Ceedo

Users continue to use protected applications as they otherwise would, while all interactions between the application and the host computer are filtered through intelligent security checkpoints that ensure potential threats are confined to the container. The outcome is a highly effective protection measure against malware infections, as anything that happens in the container stays in the container, and will not affect the host machine.
