Sandboxie 51% off on January 15!

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).

Meanwhile, congratulations to those who got the CATCH of the DAY !

 

well, i purchased it.

its not much, and who knows what i will want to use in the future, the lifetime licence and multiple pc use was very appealing, im a sucker for deals.

for now, my setup continues to be the same.

 

I noticed the same - app running in sandboxie has a few sec delay.

 

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.

 

So, now let's wait for Shadow Defender's deal

 

Got my cheap copy, thanks.

FYI, my boot times for browsers are pretty fast.. usually 1-3sec on a 1.9Ghz AMD dual core.

 

LOL! Not in this month i hope! I bought it recently, so i don't want to feel like a fool!

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 )

 

I agree. Everybody has their price. It seems mine is around $14 or $15.00.

OK, Shadow Defender meet it. At least tempt me?

See you on Bits du Jour!

 

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.

 

Ordered mine today and received the license within a matter of a few minutes. I was very impressed.

 

Great idea Fuzzfas.

Please do so.

 

I wish to see discount on ShadowProtect Desktop, it would be very nice

 

yep, I agree

 

Well, i threw the idea as a joke, but since you like it...

 

A poll, maybe?

 

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.

 

I installed Chrome for a few weeks. FF is worth the wait.

 

I just registered SD the other day, so with my luck you may get your wish. LOL

 

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.

 

See this....
