Sandboxie and eset 4?

What are your experiences with using eset 4 and sandboxie at the same time? Is eset 4 able to scan inside the sandbox in real time and alert you if you catch smth? I think I've had some issues while I was using sandboxie 3.38, some things that eset would flag outside of sandbox it would not flag if they were inside. But these may have been unwanted programs not viruses, months ago.

Do these two work together well? How can I test if eset 4 works in the sandbox? Been using this combo for few months and I haven't been alerted by eset yet but It may just be prudent surfing.

 

Yes, it does work. To test - like, download Eicar in sandboxed browser?

 

If I understand how Sandboxie works correctly, every anti-virus should detect a baddie inside of Sandboxie. Sandboxie keeps things from going out, not from coming in, and your anti-virus will see Sandboxie simply as another file needing scanned.

Tnx. Another issue, scanning on demand doesnt seem to work in a sandboxed window? Example I download file in sandboxed desktop then try to scan it with eset but I always get 0 files scanned, it cant scan it. Guess this is what lead me to suspect smth is wrong.

 

That indeed doesn't work very well with most AVs out there. Just browser normally to the sandboxed folder and scan there. Not from sandboxed Explorer or whatever.

 

tnx. So just going to d/sandbox or wherever the sandbox is and scan it should work? If eset is installed it does realtime scan as files are written in the sandbox right? So the extra scan on demand would be bit security on top of it but not really needed?

 

Yes it's already scanned so scanning it again is just redundant.
