    Is there a security risk that you think Sandboxie might not be dealing with? Which program would you run with Sandboxie to take care of that risk?

    I don't know of any way how something would break SBIE protection. I complement SBIE with Malware Defender. I doubt there is anything out there that would successfully break out of sandbox and then bypass my HIPS.

    This is why I ask the question, tomazyk, I haven't experienced or even heard of anything bypassing Sbie, and yet I often have Privatefirewall running, which I think is similar to Malware Defender. It's hard to know what vulnerabilities to cover for when nothing is getting by.

    My thoughts exactly :) A good HIPS or BB is sufficient addition to SBIE in my opinion.

    Appguard, a few OD scanners and a good firewall. Just in care something got downloaded and recovered.

    I dont think you have to worry to much if something escapes but more of what is allowed to run or have internet access in the sandboxie.Use its restrictions to reinforce its already strong protection and there very little to worry about IMO.The only security risk I can see at the moment would be a user mistake.

    I still think a malware must be detected even tough it was trapped on sandbox. So that I know where did they come from, and what was my mistake.

    So I vote for AV :D

    And firewall for blocking incoming threat. Outgoing is not a big issue if we use sandboxie restriction

    Thanks.

    Sandboxie has became my main tool against malware and I only use an AV because it's handy to not have to worry too much about my downloads :).

    Yeah I'm not too worried about anything escaping. I'm worried about me downloading something and forgetting to scan it or leaving it out of my sandbox folder. Human error to be more precise. ;) I just happen to be human.

    Yeah did a similar thing. I had opened up an email link from my bank. I opened up in another window. I didn't think anything of it and was about to enter my account login when Prevx safeonline said that my link might be a phishing link. Sure enough it was. I didn't notice that the bank of america was out of .CHM. Whoops. ALmost a really big mistake.

    What do you intend as a Sandboxie bypass? Deliberately bypassing it or unintentionally bypassing it? The latter one happened before... So, the question is: Could any malware unintentionally bypass Sandboxie? :argh:

    That said, I got AppLocker.
