Sandboxie Support

Hi Barb, Thanks for your response. Do you have any Antivirus software installed? I use Windows Defender on real time. I turned it off for testing. The results were exactly the same. Do you have a website where this happens every time? This problem started about a week or so ago. Since then, I've vis...

. I have Win 10 Home Pro and SB 5.16. Once per day I delete SB contents and shut down. Recently, it has taken several minutes to download a file from the internet. Examples are PDF and installation files. When I click on the file to be downloaded, all the following can happen: - The entire browser (...

. After submitting my OP, I continued experimenting with "Restrictions". I haven't had a virus since I started using SB, but I thought I should at least try some of the options instead of being lazy and using the defaults. So I added my normal internet-facing programs to the "Start/Run Access" list....

. I have the free SB 5.16 on Win 10 Pro, on a 1-user laptop. As an experiment, I tried Settings > Restrictions > Drop Rights Soon after, I got the message: - SBIE2214 Request to start service 'bits' was denied due to dropped rights - SBIE2219 Request was issued by program SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [De...

Here is my solution:

1. Sandbox > DefaultBox > Sandbox Settings > Recovery > Immediate Recovery
2. Check "Enable Immediate Recovery"
3. Click "Add Type"
4. Type ".xmtm"
5. Click OK

. I use Chrome with SB in Windows 7. I use a program on my laptop to manage my bookmarks. When I used the default SB settings, here's what happened. Each time I added or edited a bookmark I got a message from SB offering to immediately recover the new data. To prevent these frequent messages, I unch...

In FlagJackGuy's OP, he said: >> a technician I spoke with hinted that surfing the internet in a sandboxed browser isn't really the purpose of Sandboxie Peter2150 said: >> fire the technician Greater progress might be made if FlagJackGuy asks the technician to clarify "the purpose of Sandboxie". May...

I use SB on Windows 7. When I use Win Explorer to browse my C drive, it seems to me that I get different results when I use: - Non-Sandboxed Win Explorer - Sandboxed Win Explorer The purpose of this post is to determine whether my SB installation is correct or incorrect. When I browse the SB folder ...

Hi Bo,

I followed all your instructions. Problem is resolved.

Many thanks.

How do I get a "new" sandbox? How about the following:

• - Right-click on system tray icon.
  - Terminate all programs.

I have SB 4.16 (64-bit) and Windows 7 Home Premium. Up till yesterday, I could access the internet using Chrome and Thunderbird. Today, I double-clicked on the SB desktop icon. Got the message: SBIE1307 Program cannot access the Internet due to restrictions - chrome.exe [DefaultBox] Sandbox Settings...

. I use Sandboxie 4.16 (64-bit) with Chrome and Win 7. If Evernote is sandboxed, I can type notes and insert graphics. Graphics are simple copy-and-paste. I don't use the Clipper feature. If I switch to another note, then back to the note that I just created, text and graphics have disappeared. Only...

Thanks Bo. I downloaded the EICAR virus to a sandbox. I figured out how to scan the downloaded EICAR with KIS. The trick is to use a NON-SANDBOXED Windows Explorer. That allows the right-click context menu to be used. When I tried to use a SANDBOXED Win Explorer, the right-click option was greyed ou...

. Without SBIE, I normally use on-demand scanning for downloaded files - even although my current KIS and MBAM are "always on". Therefore, downloading a file to a sandbox will not increase my normal workload significantly. I read the virus FAQ here: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?FAQ_Virus Is th...

Hi Bo,

Many thanks for your valuable comments.

>> The paid version unlocks a couple of features.

To avoid "information overoad" I might try all the free features first.

Best regards,
