TeamViewer & Sandboxie

Post by Bellzemos » Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:54 pm

Hi!

If I run the TeamViewer sandboxed and connect with it to my friend's computer who has viruses to repair it, then I'm safe from any possible malware who could reach my PC over some possible TeamViewer exploit, right?

Thanx.

I don't know enough to answer the question conclusively. But for starters you should probably have TeamViewer installed completely in the sandbox, and not just running in the sandbox.

TeamViewer has two options when you run it's setup - to install it or to just run it (for one session). I always use just the run function, so it's always all done under the Sandboxie supervision. So, in this case, I should be invulnerable by my friends PC? Thank you.

Like I said, I don't know enough to answer the question conclusively. But if you have all the components of TeamViewer in the sandbox running under Sandboxie, and it sounds like this may be the case, then it certainly lowers the chances of something infecting your system.
