    Some are saying their risk of infection is minimal because of their surfing habits and that's a great idea.

    Here I deliberately go to darkest regions of the net downloading/installing/testing any and everything whilst in full admin mode.

    Why? Mainly to test Sandboxie's capabilities and see if I can help a little in making a great product even better.

    Wilders members won't benefit from any of my testings but they're not the people I'm trying to help as they don't need it as they are fully protected by their expert knowledge let alone any security setups.

    Here's a smitfraud variant that I deliberately ran sandboxed where a simple "delete contents of sandbox" got rid of it completely.

    thanks hurst.

    I know going against the ingrained realism of having a AV is suicide here at Wilders. But, I guess, my only answer to that would be," Why put only 6 spark plugs in a 8 cylinder engine."
