    Do you even know how man in the middle works? If you know how it works, you should've already known how SafeOnline defend you against it after I posted this?:

    use your logic, man! logic!
    Where's the need for BLACKLISTING huh? logically speaking! BLACKLISTING won't work on MITM :thumbd:

    Now tell me how your Sandboxie/Avast protect you against MITM?

    The possibility of MITM is highly unlikely, period.

    As for this, it's still blacklist. It depends on how many users go on the website with SafeOnline, and then the website blacklisted and/or gets "full protection".
    Also, this is simply a claim unless proven otherwise by an independent third-party source.

    Lastly, I'd rather use KeyScrambler if such a threat actually becomes prevalent.
    Peerblock, Noscript, and a properly configured firewall should provide protection.

    SafeOnline also covers everything that KeyScrambler covers in terms of keylogger protection and much more ;)

    It actually encrypts keystrokes? For every site, or just some?

    It can encrypt all keystrokes for all http/https websites if you have full version of SafeOnline which can be obtained free

    That was the version I tried, but SandBoxie incompatibility is a deal-breaker for me. This is no replacement compared to SandBoxie (especially since I don't do e-banking and use LastPass).

    Are you using paid version of sandboxie?

    If so... you can run your browser unsandboxed so that SafeOnline would work, just make sure that the download directory and temp files of your browser is added in the forced sandboxed...

    maybe... that would make your system less secure but it will definitely make your online credentials more safe.

    It's all up to you.

    Although I don't really do online banking, I'd prefer to secure my credentials than exaggerating the security of my OS, which I could easily fix.

    I believe there is an option which can be changed within Sandboxie so that you can use SafeOnline with it - if you could take at the suggestion in this thread, you should be able to solve the issue with this minor change: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=264445

    Prevx still don't work properly in my setup, the SafeOnline tab seems to be not working on my default profile for some reason.
    Must be because of the issues caused last time and my RamDisk image (which contains every part of my browsers, including the profiles and settings). Tried backing up and restoring to another profile (MozBackup), but the tab still refuses to work. Tested with unsandboxed Firefox by the way.
    Don't have a backup for RamDisk images at the time though (now I do).

    Changing to a new profile in Firefox would be too troublesome for me, I've customized it far too much. Would still continue using the RamDisk though, it keeps my browsers snappy even with high cpu and disk usage.

    Honestly, I still think Prevx SafeOnline isn't for this particular system. Will continue recommending it to my fellow peers though.

    Hi PrevxHelp. :)

    I thought PrevxSafeOnline only covered the browser? KeyScrambler (Premium) doesn't just cover your browser, but also word documents, notepad, windows login, outlook and much more. If you're paranoid enough to encrypt what you type in your browser, you're likely going to also be paranoid about what you type in your e-mails with with Outlook or love letters with Microsoft Word ;)

    Yes, this is correct. SafeOnline currently focuses on just protecting browsers but the protection actually takes place lower than the browser itself and we will be extending the protection to custom applications with Prevx 4.0 :)

    Yes, planning is always a good thing. Executing is a different kettle of fish. Good luck in any case. :)

    Well, the function is already complete in that we apply antikeylogging to IE, FF, Opera, Chrome, and Iron. The only difference is a matter of configuration :)
