Sandboxie Support

:?: If an infected executable were to be accidentally run during a sandboxed session, would the modified atom tables be returned to their prior status -- when the sandbox is dumped? If yes, then this would be an adequate precaution, for this kind of attack, to be taken before doing any critical acti...

No, unfortunately! Sandboxie is an MS Windows executable, only! With Linux Mint, you would want to run FireJail.

Great, thanks!
I'll do as you suggested, and maybe this thread will be helpful to other Sandboxie users who want to try this add-on.
Any other problems, and I'll post again.

Search result: "No posts were found because the word mailvelope is not contained in any post." (July 21, 2014, about 3:00pm) I have installed the Firefox add-on, Mailvelope -- and since it fails to (consistently) work when running sandboxed, I think it needs special Resource Access rules. I tried r...

Sandboxie doesn't support running multiple instances of itself. You can, however, configure multiple sandboxes within the one running instance of Sandboxie.

OK, thanks! I think - the conclusion is, in summary, Cryptolocker will do no more than fill the sandbox with encrypted files, to be discarded when the box is emptied, leaving the originals intact. :D Then, Sandboxie provides total protection against Cryptolocker -- until we hear from Tzuk, to say ot...

... it runs, but writes the encrypted files in the sandbox. They are deleted when you delete the sandbox. Pete Thanks, Pete! Were you doing a test with just a few data files, perhaps in a virtual machine, to see where the encrypted files were written? Or, was it on a system with a many, many data f...

I see there's only one post on this term, and that's hidden away in Anything Else -- a discussion between perhaps three forum members, who mutually decide they really don't know what to do about it. :?: Because Cryptolocker Ransomware has recently become a very hot topic, has anyone actually tested ...

I've been running Dexpot for some time, periodically updating both that and Sandboxie, and never noticed any interference or abnormal behavior. I know this isn't the application the OP wanted to run, but if Tzuk says the one you want won't work, perhaps this is an alternative. Free for non-commercia...

Sandboxie Firefox Tips: Updating Firefox and its Add-ons In the default configuration, any updates to Firefox or its add-ons will happen only within the sandbox. When the sandbox is deleted, all such updates will be deleted as well. To avoid this problem, you should run Firefox outside the sandbox ...

I think I found the problem, at this location: C:\Sandbox\Ron\Gadgets\user\current\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Settings.ini This was the second thing I (thought I had) configured, but I just double-checked -- and I see it's still getting caught in the sandbox. So, of course, when the box...

... Then I would check to see if the settings are saved in the Registry, by running the Windows Registry Editor unsandboxed while the sandbox is still in use (and you have made a change), and look under the: HKEY_USERS\Sandbox_(user name)_(sandbox name) key. Thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that....

Win2k had EOLtwo (2) years ago - Win2k is truely DEAD. no updates since 2 years so its highly vulnerable - wether you use sandboxie or not.
