Sandboxie Support

Bought my lifetime license several years ago, but even at $40, it's worth every penny. If you don't use Sandboxie much, then it's best to not use it at all. The big purpose of SBIE is to sandbox applications (but especially web browsers) to protect the OS itself from getting corrupted. If you know h...

Yeah; got hit by a driveby at mediamilitia a few years back (yes; it's a legitimate site that hosts some very cool clip-art). Any site can be proned to getting infected and spreading it out unfortunately. SBIE keeps that from causing your actually system problems. Easy enough to just delete the SB s...

There's actually 2 routes that you can go for your request. One is using virtual machines as others have already mentioned. The other is to use a virtualization program such as Deep Freeze which many schools and libraries use. Sandboxie is really good at virtualizing programs/browsers but to virtual...

Thought I would add my thanks to this thread as well. You've created the best protection system out there and I'm still using it in XP (VM that is). Might try to install the 64-bit version for Win7 one day, but pretty happy with the protection it gives to my XP VM. Also, not sure you know of this tz...

Don't believe this is possible since DNS configuration is a hardware device setting as already inferred. If you run a VM, you can have multiple VMs with each running under different configurations.

I sometimes go over a week before deleting my Sandboxie session but usually do delete it either if I suspect weirdness or if my browsing begins to feel slower then it should. I go one step further in that I completely hose my XP VM (run SBIE in an XP VM) and recover from a prestine backup (takes onl...

I agree; enjoyed the peruse too by the way Blues. I also won't open my internet browser without SBIE.

ssj100 is right; there is no way to stop a virus that can work inside the sandbox itself. I was an idiot (remedied it quickly by killing my XP VM session itself then afterwards, changed my passwords) and it did send out about 10 emails using my online Yahoo email. I had no idea that they could do th...

The thing is I'm not using an email program; I'm using IE web browser. It actually read my email bookmarks in Yahoo Mail which uses, I believe, AJAX. I'm no programmer and God only knows why I remembered this. lol Scary that someone figured out how to attack a browser based email system. Guess I'm b...

Just finished a PM exchange with tzuk too on a similar theme. I received an email from a friend that I've not heard from in quite a while. I clicked on the link and it commenced to read my IE based Yahoo email bookmarks and sent out rogue emails. I killed the session and all's well (no local infecti...

Thanks for the clarification, but still, I think Microsoft is going to go to the dinosaurs if they don't get off their laurels and do something about the handheld market. I wonder if there is a sandboxie equivalent for handhelds? These devices are now finding themselves being exploited now too. :)

If tzuk gave the code to Microsoft, it would get leaked and exploited no doubt. Glad you do take that stand tzuk. I've been using Sandboxie for years and in XP, but do plan to install it in Win7 next years when XP suppost to no longer get security support (use XP in a VM client and run Sandboxie ins...

It's for things like this that I virtualize my OS so, in essense, I'm double-sandboxed (since I run Sandboxie in my XP VM). Everytime I do a major program update or OS updated, I delete the Virtual Machine to the last saved one, install the updates and save the new VM. Takes a few seconds. Every so ...

It's been requested more then once. Not a programmer so don't know how hard it would be anyway but tzuk says it's out of the scope for Sandboxie and I respect that. I'm still amazed he got it to work with 64-bit OSs (though I still use it in my 32-bit XP VM only; may branch out to have it run in Win...

I've been actually running SBIE in an XP VM for years now. Cool thing about VMs is that it's extremely easy to create recovery points. Running SBIE in a VM is, in essesnce, double Sandboxing. I literally am oblivious to malware but it does require discipline (i.e., I rarely use Internet Explorer in ...
