Sandboxing - what applications, and why?

I just tried the DEL C: /F /S /Q from a sandboxed command prompt. Didn't get very far before it said "access denied."

 

Nice.

After i finish with damage control from a recent virus , (yes, sometimes i been known to push the wrong button or overlook turning on a shield occasionally), i intend to throw a full compliment of the works on another drive with my current defense shields of Sandboxie + EQSecure + Power Shadow at a couple of FD-ISR snapshots and see how things go.

The Kool combo of Sandboxing + Virtualizing the partition/drive is been a long time coming on this end, and is finally here.

 

Thanks! I was just thinking about how this would pan out today. It would be nice to have a confirmation or hear the results of a similar virus executed in Sandboxie. What about running the virus in Sandboxie as a limited user. I'm really curious about this, because I run my internet facing programs as a limited user with dropmyrights and Sandboxie. If I can't get a confirmation, any educated knowledge will be appreciated. I'm looking to eliminate FUD in my setup and in the advice I occasionally give.

Thanks

Thanks Pete . I'm really feeling good about using Sandboxie. I finally updated to the newest version this week from version 2.86 and all went well.

Cheers

 

When I do use a sandbox program,it's Sandboxie.
It's easy to use and it's stable.
I like it better than the few others that I have tried.
