Sandboxie Support

Thanks, Craig. Hmm. The thing is, I'm committed to WIN7, and 'support' for it ends in January 2020. {I ran '10 for a month; enough, already}. Mrs. Giz's and Mine...and TWO spare 'last chance' WIN7 PCs down in a closet. We WILL ride it out in Seven. For clarity, I was young, but I REMEMBER the FDR 'd...

Yesterday was 'Patch Tuesday', so today I dutifully downloaded and installed ten (10) 'important updates' onto both of my WIN 7 computers. Now, I've been running Sandboxie as my SOLE malware protection...I call it my Full Body Internet Condom {forgive me}...for YEARS, with never a thing ever getting...

Happy Two Thousand Sixteen to you, Bo... Craig... and all others. Still waiting for OPERA 36 to come out of beta and be an official Update, so NOTHING has changed on this topic.

[Hate to leave loose ends] My sister finally got around to doing an Un-Install of her S/B 4.08...kept her 'settings'...install 5.06 {64b}, and all seems well with her world. 'Guess we never learn why some Things in computer-land just HAPPEN! Sometimes, when I think of the complexities of these fool ...

W..e..l..l......Thanks for the info...I didn't know that. *I* have Windows Defender on this Seven machine; but I have it shut down. Wise or not, I rely 100% on Sandboxie, and [knock wood] for the several years I have run it, I have **NEVER**had a thing get out of The Box, that wasn't invited! And, e...

27 DEC update. She saw the forum posting, but with the Holiday Jazz going on opted to 'Restore' the computer back to a pre-Windows Update condition, where her existing version of Sandboxie mates nicely with her I.E. She *does* have the Windows built-in malware program 'Essentials... or whatever it i...

Yeah....

Thanks again, Craig

The more I think of it the more I believe all I can do is sit on '34.0.2036.41' and wait for Major Version 36 to come out of Beta and..... see what happens between Auto-Updater and Sandboxie 5.06! I can visit on Opera Forums and when the postings for '36' move out of "Opera Beta and Developer" and i...

I see... Sounds like a great plan. [1] How do you know there is an available update? [2] Are your F/F versions identified by 'my' big string of numbers and dots ? [Asking, so I can understand how you KNOW one has happened] I'm guess I could literally run forever without any 'updates' and not FEEL a ...

OK... at this link I found the details of User Agent String/ID numbering : [version major].[version minor].[build].[patch] // 34.0.2036.41 http://www.opera.com/docs/history/ Now, the REAL question is at which number change does Auto_Update execute, AND...does that execution go through Sandboxie 5.06...

Hi Bo.. I had a bunch of spare time yesterday I thought I'd do some looking. My OPERA is steady at 34.0.2036.41--"Opera is up to date". I looked at my Wife's computer, which is identical to mine, and found SHE was running version 34.0.2036.25 --"Opera is up to date". Really ? I downloaded the newest...

Thanks, Craig.... I had sort of guessed your answer, but since she is not 'local' I couldn't test it. She has a link to this, so I hope she gets it. [I'll SKYPE her soon and make sure]....

*I* run Sandboxie with a license from Ronen...years ago. I recently convinced my Sister she ought to run Sandboxie, and [amazingly] she paid attention! After we talked about it, she installed the current version, at that time. I believe it was 4.08. Anyway, since she uses Web Mail, and doesn't need ...

Could be fun, Bo... I'm on 34.0.2036.41, and the report right now is 'up to date'....

When the version changes, I'll have something to add....

Feliz Navidad, for sure.........

Thanks for your time, Bo. What you described applied in OPERA 12.17 and earlier [which I preferred to the chromium based one, but I wasn't asked!]. I used to haunt the Opera Forums and there was constant complaining about the INABILITY to turn off Auto-Update. I've been unable to even find a new ver...
