Once installed, any downloads -- stealth or otherwise -- don't get installed in your system where they can do damage. They're installed in a folder on your C drive, C\virtual. If you download a .txt file, for instance, you will see that in your downloads folder, the file has the extension .txt.virtual.lnk. You can double-click the file to run it, but it is running in a virtual space; any malicious features can only access other files within that virtual space.
This feature even protects against what are called zero-day threats -- new viruses that Symantec, Kaspersky et al have not yet found a solution for (or maybe you just haven't downloaded your update files in a while).
Once you have run a file in its virtual space and satisfied yourself that it's fine, you can navigate to the file in Windows Explorer and right-click; an option will appear to move the file out of the buffer zone (if you wanted to burn it to a disk, for example).
I've been running it for a couple of weeks and have noticed no effect on the speed of my computer or my downloads. Looks good to me -- click on the link and check it out.
I HEREBY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER!
