Sandboxing K-Melon

[Riverrun]

I'm test driving K-Melon at the moment and it's lightening fast. Needless to say, I like it so far. I'd like to be able to run it in Sandboxie but so far, I haven't suceeded. Each time I try, I get a 'Could not invoke program' pop-up. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way around it?

[Riverrun]

Hmm...it may be fast but I downloaded a trojan with it which slipped by Avira Premium and, luckily for me...BOClean caught.

No wonder I couldn't run it in Sandboxie; it replaced FF as my default browser in the sandbox without my knowledge or consent.

Not only that, but it disrupted my wireless setup which kept cutting out...the trojan I guess.

It's off my system and good riddance.

It won't be coming back anytime soon. >:( >:( >:(

I'm wondering now if it did anymore damage.

Have to check.

Take a bow BOClean!

Trojan horse was found in memory.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\K-MELEON\SETDEFAULT.EXE contained the trojan.
Active trojan horse WAS shut down. System now safe.

Where did you download K-melon from? Do not post a live d/l or direct link to d/l or to any site except possibly the original Authors. But would appreciate the site name out of curiosity.

Edit;Just visited the K-Melon site (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=Download). It is open source. My guess is you d/l`d it else where and that is the source of the trojan. Or a FP by BoClean

Wouldn't like to say out loud but I got it from a major site for geeks.

Am not familiar with your particular error, but the easiest way I've found to run my K-mel sandboxed is to alter shortcut's target to:
"D:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" "D:\Program Files\K-Meleon\k-meleon.exe"
Of course, altering paths as necessary, depending where your SandboxIE, K-Mel proggies reside.

Just as an FYI, one of their 'official' DL sites is here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=Download
(Edit..Oops, I see ThunderZ has beat me to it)
And DO check out their forum: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/

cheers

I always download from the official home website, that is a good habit.

[Riverrun]

Well. maybe I'll give it another go...I do like the browser. This time I d/led it from the official site and checked with the Dr. Web plug-in for FF.

Hope it doesn't thrash my internet connection.

:-\

The real test will be if BoClean ALERTS again. Let us know.

[Riverrun]

All is well...no zlobs this time. It's really fast on my system and lighter than FF minimised.

I have a problem with it though, I can only get the bare minimun of features to work in Sandboxie and that's a pain. Maybe if I reboot things will work a little better.

I'm going to try that now.

Cheers guys.

Erik, bedankt!
