    I am tired of the bugs and problems in the Sandboxie software, therefore, could I have some recommendations for other virtual software programs? And they can be paid or free, but just as long as they are not too complicated to run. Thank you.

    I'm okay with Sandboxie now, but I'm also using Shade, however, is there some sort of forum for help with Shade? Or does Wilders have a help section for Shade? I emailed Eugene balabanov with some questions, but he only replied to me once. Therefore, I guess there's only a one question limit with him. :confused:

    Quite disappointing if support isn't that good, and I don't believe a lot of people are using Shade on WSF. But like I said, Shade probably isn't as secure as Sandboxie anyway.

    Cruelsister did some quick testing with Shade a few years ago. It wasn't very flattering for Shade. For me sandboxie works without problems. But I only sandbox stuff like
    browser, mediaplayer, pdf reader and not try to sandbox legit games or other "fancy" stuff.

    I did see one video from Cruelsister where Shade blocked malware from running at all, while Sandboxie didn't with standard configuration. So it's not all bad, but I would like to see more technical information about how Shade is isolating apps. For example, it's not enough to only virtualize file system and registry, you also need to virtualize interprocess communications.
