I too sometimes use Sandboxie on demand, but I wouldn't classify it as a malware detection program, which is what the OP is asking. Unles I'm...
Although AppGuard and Sandboxie have both been listed, in my view neither of these fits the critieria for inclusion in this thread, as both...
Yes, I do agree. Any of these applications: AppGuard, DefenseWall, or Sandboxie, properly configured, provide very tight security. The key to...
Let's not make this personal, okay. Have a good Xmas!
If we are going to use the term "sandbox" to apply to both policy restriction and virtualization, the use of adjectives can be helpful when making...
One person's view, that's all. If DefenseWall and Sandboxie conflict then obviously it's a no-brainer not to try and use them together, as it is...
Sandboxie is not the only alternative to DefenseWall. As I've already said, for anybody looking to replace DefenseWall with another policy...
There can always be conflicts between two programs or even just between particular releases of programs, but that doesn't alter the substance of...
In terms of the level of protection, there's no difference. In terms of how the two mechanisms work, there's a world of difference between: (1)...
Yes, I think that BufferZone is related to Sandboxie in that they are both types of application sandbox. The words "isolated virtual zone" make it...
I have tested all of the different programs that we've been discussing, including DW, and I do understand the differences between them. DW has...
I agree. Providing people are clear about where the similarities and differences lie when comparing program features, it isn't worth getting too...
I completely agree. Language is simply a means of communication. Even if people attach different meanings to terms where there is no general...
Let's agree to disagree shall we?
Okay, so if they get things done differently why insist on calling them the same thing? It isn't helpful when making comparisons between programs...
From Q4: - "GeSWall is not a sandbox. Perhaps the best sandbox you can afford is a separate machine or VmWare/VirtualPC, the rest is by...
See my reply to MrBrian in post #552.
In the case of DefenseWall, things are a little more complicated because, although the basic security model is policy HIPS, there is a degree of...
Actually, I thought they explained very clearly in Q4 why GeSWall isn't a sandboxing program.
I agree. Both policy restriction and sandboxing programs use application-oriented access controls. I note that in two places the abstract refers...
Sandboxing creates a separate environment in which programs can be run. According to the developers of GeSWall, GeSWall isn't a sandboxing program...
Yes, I agree. Sandboxie uses virtualization to virtualize the file system and registry in order to build the sandbox, but this does not make it a...
Regarding the difference between policy restriction and sandboxing, you might find this article by Kurt Wismer and the ensuing discussion with...
There has been a feature request to block the installation of drivers in Shadow Mode at user discretion. I believe that Tony, the Shadow Defender...
The article defines virtualization as "the application of a hypervisor or similar technology to simulate hardware/software resources". If the use...
