Google is growing bigger than life

It all started with search, than Gmail, along came Google Earth. Now you can meet people on Orkut, share your internet diary via Blogger, cheer yourself up with YouTube. You can't really surf the web and not use at least one of Google services and products. There are also tons of Google products in beta, waiting to hit us full time.
Now, as we can read on Google blog, the 'do no evil company' has bought GreenBorder Technologies, a security company. The takeover has one great advantage for Google users: a sandbox mode which insures you will catch no viruses, and do not fall pray to drive by downloads.
"...an easy solution to virus, spyware, and trojan threats by isolating each Internet session from the rest of the PC and earlier Internet sessions. The beauty of the Green Border Pro software is it doesn't need to be updated to guard against new virus signatures or new types of malware. It creates a secluded, virtual Internet session and when you are done, it flushes everything away, in your cache and in temporary files.
The application was initially a sandbox for Internet Explorer, but now it also supports Firefox and lets you open files downloaded from the Internet in a virtual environment. Each application protected by GreenBorder has a colored border around the window, so you know you're safe."
Although the software used to cost round $30, Google plans to issue a completely free version.
