How does a ThinApped browser deals with catching viruses?

I've been creating ThinApps and messing with some of their settings, but I have one nagging question. How does a ThinApped browser deal with catching a virus?

 

If you use the ThinApped browser, like IE or Chrome, and you visit a shady website and click the wrong link, where would the virus try to attack and how would this be handled with the sandbox involved?

 

I've seen people say that if you package an app with a virus, the virus has a chance of infecting the client computer when the app is used, but you can just delete the sandbox and that would take care of most of the issue. My question is about if you download a virus with the ThinApped browser.

 

I'm just really curious on how this would be handled on the software side of things. Any insight would be appreciated.
