Is a "Sandbox" recommended inAddition to..?

Hello.

I am using:

1. IE (although I think I'll be switching to FF),
2. NOD32 v. 3.0,
3. Online Armor (paid),
4. SUPERAntiSpyware Professional, and
5. Window Washer

Can anyone say if a "Sandbox" (DefenseWall or one of the others) recommended as well? And, if so, why so?

Thank you again.

 

In short, Not needed.

 

Thank you. I appreciate it.

 

It can't hurt to sandbox your browser with something like sandboxie when doing risky surfing.

 

Don't hurt,i'm with you,but look at his setup,you don't get any better,IMO any adding is redundant.

BTW many rely only on NOD,without worries !

 

No set up is 100% foolproof. Sandboxie will help.

 

Sandboxie is not needed, when running all your internat facing applications (like LimeWire, OutlookExpress, Webbrowser) with the 'run safer' option. OA also remembers the untrusted status of downloaded files. This will immobilize any malware downloaded not catched by your AV. Avira is a good free alternative to NOD32, see this thread for comparison of OA run safer and SBIE

Sandboxie would be an excellent addition to your line up.

Here I don't use anything other than Sandboxie, Returnil and ghost images/clones.

Sandboxie is configured to only allow FF to use the sandbox resources where not a single malware, real or test, can run.

No siggys to update with way less resource usage.

I'm with you,pretty much same setup here,except for Boclean.

 

Yes, but OA offers further capabilities.

- If you start the downloaded file and it is not in OA's Whitelist, then it will run as Unknown (OA Rating), which means under tight control of OA.
For example you will get a keylogger warning if a program runs as Unknown, but not if you run the same program as Trusted.
- If the program is in OA's Whitelist, it will run as Trusted per default.
- Nevertheless you can choose the "Run Safer" option within the prompt.
- In addition are some files allowed to run without any prompt, these are files with a (for OA) trustworthy digital certificate.

I hope everything is accurately described.

Edit: seems like Reimer's post disappeared, never mind...

Cheers

 

Sorry, I had deleted my post because I found an answer in a different thread.

Thanks for the clarification though. I've only got certain processes like my browser and IM program set using SRP at the moment

 

I would recommend a sandbox.
I need a sandbox (DefenseWall or Sandboxie) to lock my precious data folders, while I'm surfing on the internet.
This way "nothing" or "nobody" (including myself) on the internet can read, write or steal personal data.

In my case I locked my second harddisk [D:] completely, which contains all my personal data.
Each possible malware is isolated in the sandbox and has to spend its time on my computer without food and water, because there is no data and believe me that makes any malware/bad guy crazy. When I close Firefox, they beg me to kill them.

 

WOW, yes i hear the screaming,afterall i'm living close to you. lol

 

yes you will benefit from one.
