Yes to good experiences with many of them. They are fast. Ran Slitaz from a camera card, tried that just for fun. Worked. :) Puppy linux & some...
Here on win 7, I uninstalled the old Sandboxie & installed the downloaded 5.31.4. Might not have needed to uninstall, but did so anyway. Has...
Well, I renamed the .bak files, then, with great fear & trepidation, restarted the computer. It worked!! Started normally. Thank you.
Yes, that seems the most complete tutorial. I have two S-1-5 (SID) keys so had planned to try option 1, just renaming them without creating a new...
A few days ago I started getting that message. Was doing nothing unusual, AFAIK. This computer runs Win 7 64 bit, UEFI & GPT hdd, avast free,...
Thanks, stapp. I'll go over to the new sandboxie forums & troll around a bit. Need to find out what happens for a paid license that never expires...
Again, I have a lifetime lic for Sandboxie. The applicable license term has no expiration date. Any idea what will happen when it pops up here on...
In that Sophos announcement it says: "The license agreement under which you originally obtained the paid licenses to Sandboxie will continue to...
As to your main point (XP is not safe for most folks ... win 10 is more secure) I agree. But consider these persuasion points from this topic:...
No offense, but that bank was running win 10. Probably doesn't matter much to the victims which vector was used to get their data.
I have an additional main trick,virtualize the OS immediately after the AV software is updated. At least twice something restarted this computer,...
I've been trying to figure how to write this without heating up the conversation. Not sure, but here it is. Which OS is safe? Seems like most...
True. But I hope that instead of paranoia it's some sort of ornery, independent thinking. And I know that XP will be untenable soon enough....
From that stats link in post #40: windows xp vulnerabilities = 741 in 19 years ( these were the early years, antimalware was in its infancy, as I...
The how-to page https://gparted.org/livecd.php doesn't mention using YUMI but it worked. I just used YUMI to put both the live distros onto a USB...
Thank you, mood. :)
+1 Individuals' expertise is not dependent on where they work. I leave my computers on for a few days at a time. They are set to turn the...
Thanks again to all the contributors to this topic. Helps so much. :thumb:
back on page 193 there were some posts about the dangers of unallocated space on the HDD....
Can't disagree about the safety considerations. Not because I believe windows A is safer than windows B, but rather because I have not thoroughly...
guest, no disrespect meant, but I think there are no microsoft OSs that have all the windows closed, least of all win 10.
"And I'm also careful of what I do online and where I go" Good idea, but fwiw, I think common sense is not enough to protect oneself on the net....
Hi, TomAZ. I run xp as my first OS, use it for everything, have for years. Just because I like it better and it runs faster that other win OSs on...
Interesting read about it here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/why-munich-should-stick-with-linux/ Reiter probably had his mind made up, eh? But...
+2 I use Powershadow, (still available free) for win xp and ShadowDefender (not free) for win 7. Both allow you to leave one or more partitions...
