Question about the Lock Icon

[Hugger]

If this has already been answered I apologize. I didn't see it.
I have Windows 7 Pro x64. I have been beta testing for quite awhile now and have v.8.0.123 running with Sandboxie v. 3.62 for 64 bit.
I can get the Lock Icon if I run outside of the sandbox but that kind of defeats the purpose.
When I run sandboxed I get no Lock Icon which leaves me feeling much less secured.
Is there a simple fix for this?
Thanks.

No there isn't it's because how Sandboxie works by isolation sorry.

This topic has been brought up several times on this forum. Here is one of the threads where you can get more details: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showt...ight=sandboxie

You will also find some info on the Sandboxie website - in the FAQ section - assuming that what applies there to Prevx SafeOnline also applies to WSA: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?K...revxsafeonline (anybody more knowledgeable may correct me if I am wrong!)

As mentioned in the other threads, you could probably get around this by only browsing with an unsandboxed browser when on banking/purchasing websites. Those sites would be unlikely to infect you (and the rest of WSA's protection will still apply) but it will give WSA the ability to communicate in and out of the browser to facilitate its Identity Shield protection accurately.
