Sandboxie Acquired by Invincea

On my PC down-stair in the basement. The PC is ob 24/7!
After the PC go into sleep mode and I awaken it the UC
Browser still have left over from early. You have to delete
it a second time to complete remove content.

 

I like WizTree, but hadn't come across MyFolders which is useful in the SBIE world - thanks for the tip Rasheed, now installed.

 

Hi Moose, if you set the sandbox to delete on closing sandboxed programs and the sandbox doesn't delete automatically every time, that doesn't mean there is a problem with Sandboxie. What it means is that you have a program in your computer that sees files inside the sandbox as being copied to the disk and decides to scan them and locks them. Thats the usual reason for sandboxes that don't delete automatically. An antivirus is usually the program that causes it.

If you experience this situation once a month or every few months, I wouldn't mind it. All Sandboxie users experience this sort of thing sometimes. But if you experience it every other day, then it would be worthwhile figuring out the program thats locking sandboxed files. In my personal case, after I stopped using real time antiviruses, this thing pretty much never happens anymore for me.

Hi Pete, usually, it is the real time part of the AV that locks the files, that includes the HIPS, behavior blocker, etc. As files are created within the sandbox, the AV see these files as being copied to the disk, locks them and scans them. If an AV does not lock sandboxed files often, I think that can be taken as a sign that the AV gets along well with SBIE

Currently I am running 5.05.2. I believe I read that there have been no code changes since then, just the version # has been changed to 5.06? Is that correct? TY

 

If you visit this page, you will see there was a version 5.0.5.3

 

Thank you, marzametal.

 

Bo! Thank you for your insight and information with details.
Appreciate!

 

No problem, I'm glad you like it. It does bug me that two other favorites of mine, Piky Basket and FileTargets, no longer work on Win 8 64 bit.

Isn't this a bug? I don't believe that this should be possible. BTW, I've noticed that if I run Opera 12 and Firefox in the same sandbox, FF often crashes, this didn't happen with SBIE v4. FF works just fine in a separate sandbox.

 

There's also Send To Toys (Send To Folder): http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/
Sorry OT.

 

Anyone knows which registry keys of Sbie should be protected against external modifications and potential process terminations?

 

guest, this thread is somewhat related to what you are asking, read Tzuks posts.

I don't know why it happens but it shouldn't happen. The guys from Invincea read this thread but perhaps you should post your findings at the SBIE forum. I PM one of the guys at Invincea and suggested he reads posts 2144 and 2147.

not exactly what i want; imagine a malware manage to run on my system (from an external vector unrelated to Sbie, say an infected USB, etc...), and try to terminate/modify Sbie by modifying registry keys , i would want to know which keys should be protected to avoid this scenario.

 

Like Tzuk said, the point of Sandboxie is to isolate programs in the sandbox. In my opinion, for Sandboxie to work, you have to start with a clean computer. If thats the case, Sandboxie works well. If the computer is infected and then you install SBIE, is very little what SBIE can do.

Bo

 

i know, Sbie is installed right after a clean install, but everything can happen, im doing an assessment of my security to minimize the potential risks, protecting processes/registry keys/folders/files.
so knowing which keys will be less laborious than selecting all of them.

 

You edited your post. I ll reply to what you added. If you are a Sandboxie user, you should not ever be infected by anything running out of a USB drive. All you have to do to protect yourself from an infected flash drive is to force your USB drives. If you do, anything that runs out of the USB drive, runs sandboxed automatically using a sandboxed version of Windows explorer.

i know lol, i just want to know which registry keys are related to Sbie in that scenario... doesn't matter if i am infected or not , or how i get infected.

Take this metaphor, In a car you have breaks, but the breaks have a mechanism to make them work, so you need to know which parts of this mechanism need to be checked once a while to ensure your breaks will not fail.

 

Seems i will never get my answer lol. I just wanted to learn more about Sbie. Thanks everybody anyway.

 

There's always Curt at Invincea to respond your questions, I guess...

 

Yes i will try there. I was just used to ask here ^^
