Abstract
Approaches for executing untrusted software on a client without compromising the client using micro-virtualization to execute untrusted software in isolated contexts. In response to receiving a request to perform an action, an isolated environment (such as but not limited to a virtual machine) is instantiated without receiving an explicit user instruction to do so. To instantiate the isolated environment, one or more templates for use in instantiating the isolated environment are identified using a policy. The one or more templates describe isolated environment characteristics for different types of activity. After the isolated environment has been instantiated using one or more identified templates, the action may be performed in the isolated environment.
