Sandboxie comes loaded in Comodo Firewall!
Attachment 68351

Have contacted Comodo and to date no response from them.

Here is an article by Leo that is interesting in the context.

Question: I've just installed Ubuntu 10.4 under Sun Virtual Box. As I was playing and surfing the web with it, I started thinking that this could be a much safer way to surf, as what is happens on the virtual box stays on the virtual box, to paraphrase Tom Hanks. Question: is this really as safe as I think?

•

Answer: Probably not.
Don't get me wrong, using a virtual machine (or "VM") can add a very significant layer of security and safety, and can be an extremely useful approach to increasing both.

But it's not a perfect solution, and if its limitations aren't considered it can be quite dangerous simply by giving you a false sense of security in areas that it doesn't really help.

No, it dosen't.

It is Comodo's own sandbox, it is similar to SandboxIE, but it's not it.

They are products from the same category produced by 2 different companies.

It's like this: Outpost is standalone Firewall, but NIS 2010 has firewall aswell.
SanbooxIE is standalone Sanboxing program, but Comodo has sandboxing features aswell.

OK, I want to play with / test Sandboxie.
I have installed the program on an old P4.
Why is it when you want a few viruses you can't find them.
Any URL suggestions as where to get the little pesky bugs.
Don't offer real URLs as I do not want anybody on accident to visit them, just type them out in a fashion that they will not be hyperlinks!!!!!!
My old P4 is in the basement & I plan to use Team Viewer to connect to it & mess around.
I assume there is no risk of something bouncing over via Team Viewer?

No purposely posting or asking to be posted, any malicious content (any content or links containing malware).

So, we can't post it.

If you still want it, I can send you a PM, but I warn they are live malicious links not some kind of test files. So be careful.
