Anti-virus program that isn't

I just learned about an anti-virus program that really isn't one but it supposedly better. I first heard about this concept from a web designer and he swears by it so I thought I would check it out.

It's called sandboxie and the concept is to allow programs and web sites you click on to run on your computer without actually affecting your computer. The data is isolated in a small area called a sandbox and if an e-mail or other program has spyware or a virus or malware, it is confined to the sandbox and cannot get into your computer.
