    Yes there is lots of speciality. Without this you can set that only one specify program can connect to internet or run. With ProcessGroup you can set that many specify programs can connect to internet or run. Other blocked.

    I have a Sandbox specific for Online Banking,only my browser allowed to connect,further i can't think of any other program on my rig that need that exception.

    BTW some malware if at all on your system will phone home with their own dedicated server,they need no connection through the browser.

    But you may correct me if i don't get the concept of ProcessGroup.

    Sandboxie is insofar usefull if you start with a clean system and keep it that way so a layered protection will your second defence.

    With new version I can type this:

    [GlobalSettings]

    ProcessGroup=<InternetPrograms>,k-meleon.exe,sandboxiedcomlaunch.exe,sandboxierpcss.exe,start.exe

    [DefaultBox]

    ClosedIpcPath=!<InternetPrograms>,*

    So now only those listed processes can run. With older version I can only allow one so there is some problems because needed sandboxie components can run.
