    Hi

    Does anyone know if OA Web Shield and SBIE work together. I am currently running the latest versions of both and have no issues but saw a post stating they did not work together.

    Any info would be appreciated,
    Ice

    Some of OA's web shield don't work when running under Sandboxie, but it doesn't really matter as Sandboxie is providing the protection.

    For example with sandboxie, OA doesn't block Active X, but I don't worry about it because any Active X stuff is run sandboxed, and deleted when I close the browser.

    Hi,

    Are you using the latest Sandboxie 3.38 (By the way, I am not using Online Armor)?

    Not sure whether this new feature helps?

    thanks for the reply's. That makes sense about ActiveX or any other thing trying to run in a sandbox. It will be deleted on exit. Sandboxie warned me about OA and asked me to add it to the compatibility list. So they are both running fine as far as I can tell.

    Actually, I like emptying the sandbox at the end of the day. The extra seconds that the browser needs to re-establish cookies etc.. is not an issue. I just thought I was losing some security using the two but I have been enlightened. :D

    There is now an option in sandboxie to allow direct access to firefox cookies, bookmarks/history database, you can even allow access to your profiles folder if you wish.

    I like these firefox cookies option as firefox is set to keep only the cookies that i have allowed from websites i trust.
