    I never liked Sandboxie, because of these problems.
    ShadowUser is like FD-ISR and RollbackRx, the method is very different, but the result is the same : back to a healthy state.
    ShadowUser has only ONE snapshot, while FD-ISR/RollbackRx work with more than one snapshot and that means more possibilities.
    But all three don't protect you between two snapshots. That's the problem.

    Hello,
    I find ShadowSurfer / User primarily effective for testing software compatibilities. I do not perceive them as security tools per se. For that, you have the firewall and firefox.

    In that case you are better of with FD-ISR and RollbackRx, because they allow multiple snapshots.
    It seems that SU has problems with installing of certain softwares. I think AntiHook was one of them.

    To use FD-ISR, RollbackRx, ShadowUser, ... for security reasons, I have to think about that. :D
