latest test on VR/sandboxing apps for MBR infections.

Hi:

This guy tested all of the VR type application like shadow defender, rolback rx, time freeze,etc.. and sandboxes like sandboxie with malwares and also with 5 MBR infections like TDL4 and others and you will be surprised on how they did.

I was shocked at shadow defender failure to protect and also of time freeze too.

No Instant Recovery Software software can give complete protection against advanced rootkits, bootkits and MBR/ VBR infectors. An offline image restore is the best security.

 

Just combine VR/sandboxing with kernel hooking HIPS to guard low-level disk writes to MBR from MBR malwares, bootkits and any driver loading rootkits barring duqu-like kernel exploits.

 

Hi:
What are free kernel level HIPS you talk about? Is comodo firewall with HIPS one of them?

So a VR like shadow defender or time freeze plus sandboxie and comodo firewall you think is solid against infection?

What setup you prefer guys?

 

I use:

Avast with Comodo Firewall and Defence+ at max, plus MBAM and KeyScrambler as my first layer.

Sandboxie as the second layer.

Shadow Defender as the third one.

A full image backup (including the boot sector) stored away from my main system as the final layer.

This setup has never been breached on any of my systems so far, and I do go places online...

 

I wonder if anyone has tested BitDisk 7 against these infections? I imagine you would get the same results, but I was just curious.

 

Sandboxie got tested as well like 2 hours ago. Like expected it scored 5/5...

 

Backdoor Sinowal: Failed
Backdoor TDL4: Failed
Trojan Cidox: Passed
Trojan Popureb: Passed
Trojan Xpaj: Passed

 

Arcanez,was it 3.76 or 4 to be tested?

CyberMan969, I'm glad for you and for me,too,since I use a very similar layer:
1-Router
2-AppGuard
3-Sandboxie 3.76
4-Comodo Firewall & antivirus
5-Shadow Defender
6-Paragon Imaging

I also use a password program ,Key Scrambler Pro,MBAM on demand.
I run three different browsers (IE,FF,Chrome),but use only one exclusively for financial matters.

After perhaps 6 months with this setup I feel really ok and protected,in spite of my still not perfect knowledge of appGuard whereabouts, but I think the combo AppGuard+Sandboxie is so effective it forgives even some initial mistakes....

 

Thank you for that Space Ghost! Is there a video of that test?

 

v 3.76

I think he meant the test of Bitdisk not Sandboxie.

 

Quite right, sorry
Too many easter eggnogs
