Sandboxie Support

IMO and of course you can disagree, this is waaay too much hassle to handle online banking which ironically, is designed for convenience. Each new 'addon' or 'anti-keylogging' software adds an extra variable in the security equation. Which in turn is more liable to cause screwups. View it as a law ...

Pretty much everything we've discussed in this thread represents a valid method. A lot depends on your existing setup. If you run as Admin with an antivirus/firewall as you're only protection then Rapport is clearly the most valuable addition. On the other hand if your security setup is much stronge...

Sure, and maybe I was a bit too dismissive on my previous post, so apologies for that. If we break down what Rapport does into two categories - external to your PC and internal to your PC, then the external parts can be replicated with Firefox add-ons to a large degree: 1. A force HTTPS addon (such ...

I'm not really understanding the logic of this thread. Nobody appears to be disagreeing that Rapport does all the things that are needed, but the discussion is about how to set up a Rapport-alternative, i.e. how to do all the things Rapport is doing but in multiple different ways. There seems to be ...

If you fear that you won't get the real IPs, if the bank changes them, it would be a great practive to contact with the bank, by phone, and ask them the new IP addresses. The client can't be excluded from the security equation. If you fear something isn't right, you should always contact the bank s...

So I suppose the issue here with NoScript is where a fraudulent SSL certificate is combined with DNS hijacking. NoScript is unable to protect here because the SSL certificate is present and genuine. Apparently Rapport helps here by matching the SSL certificate with the IP address of the REAL web-si...

I don't think that's true. My understanding is that NoScript can force specific domains to use HTTPS. In fact, it can force only HTTPS web content to be displayed and block any plain HTTP/FTP content. Therefore shouldn't it protect against some forms of DNS hijacking? Forcing https is one thing tha...

I suppose one important question is how effective software like Trusteer/Prevx are against such attacks. I suppose it would be hard to test this type of protection in the real-world. Against DNS based attacks they should be very effective. Rapport has its own DNS service so when you connect to the ...

There is one other thing to consider here. Apps such as Trusteer Rapport, Prevx SOL/WSA and Online Armor Banking Mode will also perform an IP address validation check to ensure that the site you are connected to is in reality the one you think you are connecting to. With some of the recent exploits ...

I think it's all about balancing things up and being sensible. Most of us here are probably "above average" computer users and the best "program" is probably our common sense - if you want proof, think of when the last time you got unexpectedly infected with (or came across) genuine malware - proba...

Whether you need any specific antilogger software all comes down to your approach to maintaining a secure PC. If you are utterly meticulous about your security setup and your approach to handling newly introduced files to your PC (SSJ100 style) as well as protecting against zero day/privilege escala...

Tzuk, apologies for the delay in responding. Fact is, this problem is only a minor inconvenience so my interest was only in whether there would be a quick fix, for which there doesn't appear to be. For info however I'm using SBIE 3.56, Win7 Pro 32bit and the latest version of PDFX-change. Thx.

No, that didn't work either.

Interesting. Do you also have Windows shares available on your network? Shared by Windows computers? Can the sandboxed PDF-Xchange open a PDF file from such a computer share, rather than a NAS share? This is an important point because if it is just NAS then I won't be able to do much about it, but ...

Interesting. Everything, including PDFs, opens ok from the network share via a sandboxed windows explorer. I have a separate sandbox which I use specifically for sandboxed windows explorer sessions.
