Congrats to Ronen on job so far and acquisition.

Ronen,

Since discovering Sandboxie several years ago,
it has become the main security application in our household
to the exclusion of all others except occasion use of MBAM and/or SAS.

Like others in this forum, I am saddened to see you go
but sincerely wish you the very best for your future.

I am now trying to plan an internet life without Microsoft
after the dreadful development of Windows 8 and the impending death of Windows XP.
I do hope I will not have to plan for a life without Sandboxie!!

Thank you Ronen and again best wishes,

Maurice

Stay with Windows 7 which is the new life of Windows XP !

Windows 7 will be good for many more years before you embark on your Windowsless life. :p

Likewise on Sandboxie, many are still on 3.76.

Sandboxie is a good security solution and I have bought the lifetime licence.

The acquisition isn't good for me.
I can't find any consumer product from Invincea.
I can't find any substitute for sandboxie.

What will happen after the acquisition?

Saddened by this.

Sandboxie was and is the only protection I needed and I always felt I was in control. When I had applications that refused to play nice with Sandboxie, I ditched those programs, not SB.

I would miss Tzuk and it saddens me that he will no longer be around to cater to this brilliant product.

May be Invincea is not a bad thing to happen but I am worried about the fact that none of their products have a suggested retail price and they are into enterprise sales. I hope they don't kill the spirit of Sandboxie.

Tzuk,

You made life better for a lot of people.

I hope your next office will be a beach umbrella!

Ronen,

It is an understatement how much your app has changed my life. I know it is very cliche to say, but as someone who tests software on a daily basis, your app has been a godsend. I am so happy for you to finally get the compensation you deserve.

With all that said, I know it's way too early to tell and very pessimistic of me, but I am very very concerned about the future of sandboxie. I have a lifetime license. This is one of the 3 apps (along with Zoomplayer , Winamp, and Eventghost) that have kept me on Windows. I'll just assume the worst at this point and hope for the best.

RIP Sandboxie. Thanks for all the love over the years and saving my ass more than I can count

I have mixed feelings about the acquisition, but that's completly subjectiv as I do not know Invincea. I was never really active here, except for some bug reports, but I am excessively using Sandboxie for more than 2 years. Sandboxie is the most valuable software on my computer to me.

Anyway, thank you Tzuk for your great piece of software and good luck for your life after Sandboxie!

Regards
WongKit

I want to say again, thank you. Thank you for everything you've written about me, here and elsewhere on the net. You know I've always tried to put the focus on Sandboxie, and not on myself, so this is a bit overwhelming. In a good way.

Indeed, you always kept your privacy, and focused on your program only, but I must say: you sound like a very modest, honest, sweet person. God Bless You!

I know I'm a little late comment on this post but I looked a little into the technologies Invincea is using for malware prevention and it looks pretty impressive, if this is any indication of how skilled Invincea is then tzuk diffidently made the right chose.

Yep and hopefully by then ReactOS or some other similar & hopefully stable OS will be available by the time Windows 7 is nearing the end of its life.

We are getting so much spam posts to read lately in this forum. Why is that so?

I wish you the best Ronen you earned to take a break from your tough job trying to satisfy evryone. Your Sandboxie has been the cornerstone of my security by far for many years and will continue I hope.

To new owners, I have not had my question answered.
It is this thread and why that program is allowed to run unsandboxed under my limited user account from the installation sandbox.
http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=17475

There is no problems in my admin account, there it will run sandboxed without a right click, just NOT with the limited user account. I am not saying it could not be possible something is wrong with my computer. I post here instead problem forum thread just for the reason that I don't want post there if just in case that my computer have been compromised.

Perhaps b/c it is running on stone-age phpBB2 which has zero antispam measures available.

Which is an excellent opportunity to create a 1000% off-topic post.

Better captchas are more immune to spam bots but are also more immune to human beings.

This forum welcomes guest posters, and I didn't think it was reasonable to use a captcha that might push people away.
