Sandboxie is a great app to purchase already--always lifetime ?

Who's next? MANY more i hope! Lifetime with 50% discount too! This one is one of those that you just can't miss!

A discount? Sooner or later it will come. Lifetime license? I think not, unfortunately.

But there is still hope for other products! :argh: Bring on the lifetime licenses and prepare to be boarded! 205348

I'm glad Fuzzfas started this thread. I saw this deal yesterday because I've been checking the site ever since I missed the deal on Mamutu last month. But now that this great new deal is out, can I ask if anyone has actual experience dealing with the bitsdujour site? They are selling the software (or license) cheaper than the producers of the software. Is it legit?

While browsing over at gladiator forum, i noticed Ilya has used that site for a discount on Defensewall in October. So it's legit alright. They make these discounts after a deal with the vendor.

Thanks, Fuzzfas. I am definitely going to purchase it. And $14 isn't much to risk anyway. I'm still mad I missed the Mamutu deal, though!

Amazing deal IMO considering the license is lifetime and you're not limited to a single computer. You can install it on as many computers that you own

great product and great development from tzuk :thumb:

I like Mamutu too, but i change security setup configuration way too often to live with online activations. I hate them. Other than that it was a very good price.

On Sandboxie i don't think it as risk. I have googled it a bit and all seem to talk well of BitsDuJour.

I think if they were a fraud site, they would have been caught by now. And the price and lifetime license of Sandboxie are low enough to be very tempting. Even applying the 19% VAT , the price is still low enough. :thumb:

As about the price- when 2.50 will be released, I'm going to separate license with Basic ($29.95, without outbound traffic control) and regular ($39.95, with outbound traffic control) and, I assume, it won't push my product out of its market, as I'm going to make this Internet traffic control Matousec 100% bulletproof. :)

exactly, so $40 a year?

Sandboxie can be bought for $14 for a lifetime licence,

can someone please tell me the differences between the too.

dont get me wrong though, im a fan of DefenseWall and i do still own a valid licence for it, but speaking of these prices, it puts me off DefenseWall.

Fuzzfas

January 11th, 2009, 06:50 AM

-{ Quote: "exactly, so $40 a year? " }-

After the first year, renewal is $ 10.95 (VAT excluded) for every year. At least with the current pricing policy.

-{ Quote: "

Yes, you can't beat that...

-{ Quote: "

What puts me off is the CPU usage. ;D The price isn't too high for renewal, if you really use the program. It can save you from various headaches.

-{ Quote: "can someone please tell me the differences between the too." }-

Sanboxie is virtualization sandbox. The application you run under it, will flush all changes when you empty the sandbox. The sandboxed application uses virtual registry and system files, so it doesn't write anything on the real system. It's like running Returnil or Shadow Defender , but only at application level, not system wide.

DW is a policy sandbox or "policy HIPS" as it is officially called. You divide applications to trusted and untrusted. The untrusted won't be able to alter the trusted or system files and have reduced priviledges and resource access (can't alter registry either, unless there is explicit permission). If you encounter a malware, it is so becoming harmless. The difference is that it doesn't flush on exit. (eventual malware will remain on the system, but contained). Also, because of the way it is meant to run, it provides wider coverage of applications.

On the other hand, IMHO, Sanboxie is a tad simpler in user interaction (no chance that will need support for just running an application, no chance that you will be asked something, there is nothing that you can't understand right away in the menus) and for sandboxing the browser. Also eats much less CPU. DW won't bother you either as long as your applications are in the presets of the program.

DW is more "system wide" application. You can put in the list all your applications that use internet and sleep peacefully that you won't get infected from any of those applications. With Sandboxie such approach can be made but with more configuration and with some applications (p2p) can become from problematic to impossible (ex. emule).

IMHO,
-if you want wider protection --> DW. DW has also the characteristic that it doesn't "flush" anything, so you don't lose any data in case you forget to save them. It's all in your hard disk.
-If you want idiot-proof browser security at low cost in $ and CPU ---> Sandboxie. You can also run simple installations and exes in sandboxie, but with complicated installers it will fail. DW is better in this sector.

I think Geswall commited pretty much suicide over the past period even with the 3(?) month expiration free version. Who wants a "free" version that expires after 3 months? That's like a trial period. Now they realized it and made it 1 year...

As for their price, it's without discount 34.90 euros per year (VAT excluded). While the most direct competitor, DW, has a price of 23.12 euros per year (VAT exc.). So, yes, they are commiting suicide here too... Why would anyone pay 12 euros more than DW for GS? :blink: Even when the DW with outbound traffic comes, with similar price (39.90 $), it will be tough not to choose DW, for the simple fact that DW is simpler to use...

If GS wanted to really do something about sales, they should either drop their current price considerably or give lifetime license.

ok, so i already own a valid DW licence Ilya ;)

so does that mean, it will cost me $12 a year?

im in 2 minds, because at the moment, i use neither....

but in the future, who knows what will happen, which is why the lifetime licence of sandboxie is currently appealing to me, for possible future use.

Lifetime is gooooood! You can't argue about that. ;D It gives you the feeling that even if you 're not currently running it, you 're not wasting up time from your time limited license.

Defensewall price is acceptable to me considering Some AntiVirus cost that or more and IMO do not provide the level of protection that DW does.Also considering what I pay for High speed internent Access pr year,whats 10.20 or 40 a yr for a strong security product,But a lifetime license is sweet.

I know and i understand. Actually Defensewall's renewal fee is reasonable. I was speaking in general. Lifetime licenses works in the long run only if there is a stable flow of new buyers and in advanced security applications that aren't wide known, this isn't easy.

Like you said, it's good for customers, i am a customer. ;D I don't expect all companies to give lifetime licenses. But those who do, have my preference. ;D It's not that i force them to adopt the lifetime license model.

-{ Quote: "As far as I know, the license is lifetime BUT again there is an annual update fee. Sandboxie, compared to DW and GW is a ONE-off fee; no annual updates." }-

Well, yes, like most firewalls, have lifetime license. It's that you just can't update it after the 1 year. So it's not what i call lifetime. Sandboxie does even more than one-off fee. It allows the same license to all the computers of the same owner. So if you have a desktop and a laptop, you can use the same Sandboxie license. Now how does Tzuk manage to live on with offers like that, i really don't know...

Hi, all

To stay above the water line and to be very competitive are the foremost principles these days for any venture.

I would consult some marketing minds ( those who are complete outsiders, no any cyber experiences), to seek their views.

You may get a fresh inputs, and make your jaws dropped. That's why mega corporations often parachute fresh faces to fill the CEO positions.

Times are much different than those golden days. Flexibility in policy making is one of the essentials to stay afloat.

And NEVER say NO; at least you can ENTERTAIN the idea. eh?

Today considering what this app can do,if all it's features are used and not only against malware,but in keeping the registry untouched while still able to perform many advanced tasks,Installing Games,Video editing etc, even 30$ or whatever the price is now is too little ImO

P.S.: Note to Opera users. In my case, pressing "Buy now" at BitsDuJour was redirecting me to Avangate, where nothing though happened because i was told that my shopping cart was empty and i couldn't buy Sandboxie. Use IE instead if you encounter the same problem.

I just checked my startup times and without OA free running (disabled in system tray) and with a clean sandbox, FF starts in 3 sec. OA adds about 10 sec. for some unknown reason...

I'm running XP home SP3 with Q6600 (quad core) @ 3.0GHz with 4GB of RAM and Avira.

What exactly do you mean? With Sandboxie, you either run a program in it or not. I use a shortcut to start Firefox or Winamp or my IM sandboxed. You can also start a program sandboxed by right-clicking it if you chose that option in Sandboxies options. There is also an option to run Sandboxie Control when Windows starts which can be turned off or set to only run when running a sandboxed program.

205471

Edit: I'm not sure if this helps, but I have both my normal Firefox and a Sandboxie Firefox icons on my desktop. I can choose how I want to run it for updates and extension updates. In the paid version, there is a Forced Program feature that I assume forces a certain program to only run sandboxed. That is one of the things I have to look into.

On my Intel duo core processor/ WinXP sp3, Sandboxie prolongs IE7's startup by up to 10 seconds. That's why I have switched to ZA ForceField for the time being. I will be back to use it, if this can been improved in future releases ( having life time license for a good while).

I think you did the right thing. SB can fit in many setups and since the license is lifetime, you 're not wasting up any subscription time. So relax and when you 'll need it, you can use it! I also like the fact that it hardly uses any CPU... Even if you don't use it all the time, it hardly eats any resources by just sitting there.

Using FF Sandboxed, it takes 24 seconds to load FF. I just registered SB and thought that now that the nag screen has been eliminated start up might be faster. Nope. Surfing has no delay. FF not sandboxed takes 7 seconds on an initial start up. Four seconds on subsequent start ups.

use chrome,

without it, loads in less than a second.
with it, loads in 1 second.

no beating chrome for loading time :)

yep, who knows what the future will bring.

still, id love to know if its still possible to keep drwebs HTTP scanner working with it installed, dont know if its possible, but it would be awesome if it did.

Mine too. Opera and IE6 launching fine. Besides, i barely close the browser and what's more important is that barely eats any CPU.

Each of us have different times on browsers.I'm sure of that.On all three PC of mine FF is slower to load sandboxed or not than OPera or Chrome(which if it would been faster i couldn't keep up with it :) )

At that price, i would probably buy every security application around(God forbid!), except for those with online activation .

Maybe we should start a new topic, with the security applications we would like to see in BitsDuJour and then inform BitsDuJour and the author too. ;D

I don't know, i just started a topic here just a moment ago. The problem with the poll, is that one can't possibly include all security products (i think there is a limit in poll options). And i certainly can't think of all possible options. So, for polls, someone with better memory must do it.

to keep drwebs http scanner working, you need to add both spidergate files in the full access section of the Sandboxie settings.

this keeps the http scanner working, and stops that annoying popup Sandboxie gives that just 'downloads a link' (ie. eicar test)

if its a virus, drwebs http scanner now tells you so, and stops that popup from arriving, aswell as preventing you from saving something from the Sandbox which may be infected.

its nice to keep the scanner working, i prefer it this way.

and yes, the browser is Sandboxed.

ok, couple of questions.

1. How can i stop the 'Save As' popup when downloading something?

without Sandboxie installed, the downloads just to go my desktop automatically, without any 'Save As' popup.

2. After downloading something in a Sandboxed browser, how can i stop the 'Immediate Recovery' screen from popping up at the start of the download?

... but id still like to keep it popping up after the download has finished, so i can save it if i wish, it just seems pointless to pop up at the start when nothing has downloaded yet.

I do not believe this has anything to do with SBIE. Every browser I've ever used had those settings up to the user. SBIE only effects the browser's download with its immediate recovery options.

it is,

i use Chrome and usually the downloads just start automatically, and get saved to my preference (the desktop)

now with SBIE installed, i get a daft 'Save As' screen with unconfirmed.1345345.454353 file etc, before the download starts downloading.

Oh, I have no experience with Chrome. That definitely does not look like anything I've ever seen with SBIE. It sounds like a Chrome issue. Best to ask Tzuk about compatability.

C.S.J

January 17th, 2009, 07:23 PM

this is what i meant...

205548

before the installation of SBIE, it used to just download without that save as screen to my selected location (desktop)

n8chavez

January 17th, 2009, 09:17 PM

My first thought is that cannot possible be SBIE. I've used it for a long time aqnd have never encounter anything simlar to what you have in the screenshot. I think that has to either by Chrome or a compatability issue.

Fuzzfas

January 18th, 2009, 02:14 AM

I too have Opera ask me where to save a file i download, but that has nothing to do with SBIE, it's an Opera setting. Maybe you changed Chrome settings by mistake? (or there was a compatibility glitch with Sbie)?

-{ Quote: "2. After downloading something in a Sandboxed browser, how can i stop the 'Immediate Recovery' screen from popping up at the start of the download?" }-

I 've never seen this happening with neither Opera nor IE6. Did you change immediate recovery settings in Sbie? I never touch them. I only add download locations in "Quick recovery" section.

If you can't find solution, i m afraid only Tzuk can help.

As I understand it, Chrome has its own 'sandbox'. If you are using this with SBIE it would be best to turn that feature in Chrome off to avoid any conflicts. Also Chris, what are your SBIE settings for file migration? Make sure you allow for what ever meets you needs. It might be nothing, but it might help. Apart from that I'm not sure what to tell you. Make sure you have upfated versions of both SBIE and Chrome.

This (http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4293&sid=d545e281ca17c2b84a3a4a67607330a5) thread might help.

same as, never touched those settings.

if i turn off SBIE, the 'Save As' popup goes away.

I'm thinking its definately one of those minor incompatibility nags between SBIE and Chrome.

C.S.J

January 19th, 2009, 03:00 PM

ok, here it is......

Sandboxie is not fully compatibile with Google Chrome, the developer needs to work on this asap.

- Firefox3 is x2 faster (yes, double!) when browsing with SBIE, compared to Google Chrome,

I also dont get any Save As pop ups on Firefox3 as i do with Google Chrome,

its really annoying, because i want to use Chrome. :'(

gonna give their forum a go ;)

hopefully tzuk will look, listen and fix. :D

I tried adding the 2 directories:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Doctor Web
C:\Program Files\DrWeb

to the sandbox settings : Resource access > File access > Full access

but I still can't get Spider Gate to filter Firefox HTTP connections such as the Eicar.org site.

Could you please explain in detail what steps you did?

Firefox version 3.0.6
Sandboxie version 3.34
Dr.Web version 5.0.1.02160

thanks
