w. cossey comes with daemon tools and alcohol. The company is duplex secure (www.duplexsecure.com).. It is supposedly an interface system that prevents rootkits from working etc (however it is a bit strange in itself, as it blocks registry keys, file access and other things), so it is hardly 'harmless'  See also: Link
