Sandboxie Support

Thank you for explaining.

I still get the impression that -unless one configures Sandboxie as you suggest- malware in the sandboxed mail client can still do what I described: copying the addresses from the email address book, and then bug those addresses. Is that understood correctly?

Thank you Tzuk. So do I understand it well that the following you wrote there means that indeed malware that copies our email address book can send those addresses to the source of the malware, and via that source -or directly from our email client- pass on the malware to those email addresses, even...

I see. Thanks again. I'm not worried about someone spying or even copying anything from my notebook. I wrote that more in the general interest for people who do have important data they want to keep confidential. I don't have that. But for business people -for example- that might be important. But n...

Thank you. Good to know that the mentioned direct only-reading email malware cannot do anything in and from the sandbox. I never open attachments from unknown sources. But I still think that if I did -by mistake- it could still spy and copy stuff from my hard disk outside the sandbox. And possibly c...

Come to think of it: Even when malware opened in a sandboxed email attachment does not affect whatever is on the rest of the hard disk outside the sandbox, not only can it still spy on that disk, it can also copy the email addresses from your address book and then have malware and spam send to those...

Thanks. That part I know though. It's that I thought the malware was somehow attached to the browser and/or its build in email program, and that it had worked itself in there when Opera was used one of the rare times I might have ran it un-sanboxed, and that this could not be deleted by emptying the...

I had not thought of malware entering through email attachments yet. I just found out how it affected my Opera integrated mail program, as described here:

I guess you are right. A few days ago ActiveScan had detected 15 Trojans in my Opera mail folders. I checked my mail folders, and they were all empty, or so I thought. Because I therefore also thought those were false positives, I did not let ActiveScan remove them. Instead I posted about this on th...

Thanks for your response. I don't know. All I know is that I used my IE9 browser, un-sandboxed on purpose so in case the scanner would find something, it would be able to remove it if it would be outside the sandbox (on my hard disk.) Opera is my default, and I always run it sandboxed, including the...

Hi! These last days I had noticed that the characters -letters- I typed on forums only appeared after a few seconds. Same deleting them with the backspace key. So I realized something was wrong. I scanned with my Avira (paid), SAS (paid), MBAM (free), Hitman Pro (free), and Online Armor Cloudscan (f...

Hi! Day before yesterday I had scanned my notebook with the free Panda Active Scan 2.0, and it detected 15 Trojan horses. They were in my Opera browser's integrated mail program supposedly. Since my mail folders seemed to be empty, I though they were a false positives. Or maybe malware in my browser...

Thanks. With a few of us reporting it to the AV vendors this falsie should be gone soon.

I am using Emisoft AM free (I let the trial version expire) as a second opinion AV, and scanned with the sandbox empty. But still it flagged the following items as malware: [2580] C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\SbieCtrl.exe Discovered: Virus.Worm.SuspectCRC!IK [2596] C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\SbieSvc.e...

I am now. I didn't know of his existence until I clicked on that "Say what" link you gave. But the culprit is Tzuk of course, by asking that question. :wink: I have no TV nor radio, and am only back in modern civilisation for 5 years after spending nearly 20 years on a spiritual quest in the mountai...

Say what? I get an e-mail alert from the Dutch government whenever a leak or weakness is found that can be used by a hacker -cracker. This morning it was a weakness in Windows for which Microsoft gave an advice that would solve it, but make your short-cut icons look bad. Until they have a solution ...
