Sandbox Programs?

[copernicus]

Since sandboxie is not being supported for windows 7 yet, has anyone found any sandbox programs that work on 7? I liked how light sandboxie was so I'd prefer a stand alone sandbox program.

Blast Microsoft for removing the awesome Guest Mode they initially had in 7000!

edit: sandboxie works on 7 but not on 64 bit yet. >=(

What about VirtualBox?

And it is working on win7!

Not the same thing - VBox is virtualization for entire Operating Systems - Sandboxing is for isolation of specific *applications* in a single Operating System.

Actually do have virtual installed, but for other reasons.

I wanna to easily be able to scrap changes.

 

[Robert Cartman]

sorry

 

[johngalt]

nothing to be sorry about - live and learn, my friend.

I've found something again!
If you only want to run browsers within it then check this out!

not sure this is the same this looks like sfotware firewall solution not a sandbox. Reason everyone loved sandboxie is it would let you run any exe in the virtual window and if it had a virius it would not effect your OS or registry.

Keygens etc...

Dont think there is one for x64 at all anyway Sandboxie didnt work under x64 either.

I used to run Returnil on XP and whilst it was a little inconvenient - it was excellent. Don't have time to test it on 7 till about 7 hours hence. If no one has done it by then (!!! step up, step up) I'll give it a spin.

I posted that I had previously used Returnil in XP - it creates a virtual space which when running is used to store all data created during the session. Come a way since I last used it. And I run 32bit so I don't know abt 64 bit windows.

On my system;

1. Set-up and run seemed just fine - downloaded and installed Opera. did a few other things. None of these should have shown any trace of when turning Returnil off and re-booting
2. Re-booted, start up seemed slow (my imagination?), booted into windows, again it was slow, selected my user - NOTHING HAPPENED. Did not complete (or even start the load). Ditto selecting different user (Administrator).
3. Booted into Safe Mode. Had to do a restore/or an uninstall to get back into any user.
4. Returnil, however had done its job - no sign of Opera etc.

So your experience may vary but I doubt it. Returnil a NO NO.

I suspect that all that fails is for the virtual space to properly dismount. But not prepared to risk it again.

Just an idea: Isn't it good to run the Sandboxie in Virtual Windows XP Mode?

CBX botting?

 

[Dorfdad]

safest way to do this I found was Virtual XP. Run your keygen whatever in there and just do not save any settings. Just make it your virtual Virus Box lol..

Obviously you might not to share files with 7 though.

Sandboxie 3.42

The new version supports windows 7!

Sorry 64 bit still not supported :/

 

[topgundcp]

Sandboxie 3.44 for x64 is now supported. I am using it now and it seems promising.

Thank you!
