![]() ![]() If I could explain about the "risky" word - perhaps that wasn't clear - I mean an application that is liable to have malware built into it. In my personal case, I use Sandboxie for trying browsers, Firefox addons, to temporarily install Java or Flash in my W7, that kind of thing but to try any other type of program, I use Shadow Defender. In my opinion, for testing programs, the virtual machine its the better choice since it can be used for trying all kind of programs. I recommend you use Sandboxie for everyday and Virtual box for trying programs. In my mind, I don't see both programs as being programs that you choose one or the other. I think you ought to use both, SBIE and VB. I basically run files sandboxed from the moment they are downloaded to my computer till the day they are deleted. And if I move that file out of my Download folder, it is covered by the Forced programs feature. ![]() For example, when I download a file, it is done using a sandboxed browser, the file download into my download folder which is forced. In my personal case, I use Sandboxie for trying browsers, Firefox addons, to temporarily install Java or Flash in my W7, that kind of thing but to try any other type of program, I use Shadow Defender.īut for everyday use, for browsing, downloading, running files that I download from the internet, attachments, nothing beats Sandboxie. One could install a Linux OS > install Virtualbox > install a Windows OS and then install/run Sandboxie inside Windows.Ĭlick to expand.In my opinion, for testing programs, the virtual machine its the better choice since it can be used for trying all kind of programs. ![]() Sandboxie less memory and uses your existing Windows OS. Sandboxie has limitations on installs (mentioned in posted comments)Ī VM would typically use more memory/resources as you install another OS. VM's such as Virtualbox are good if you want to try for example an AV program or softwareįirewall. I like to secure auto delete sandbox upon closing browser session unless I have reason to save User Accounts are specified (empty = sandbox can be used by all user accounts) Also a download location of my choosing and no Immediate Recovery. Personally I would not run Sandboxie under these settings. Start/Run Access - All programs can start and runĭrop rights from Administrators and Power User groups (unchecked) Internet Access - All programs can access the Internet Quick Recovery - Pre-determined list of folder locationsĪutomatically delete contents of sandbox (unchecked) Some of Sandboxie default settings (includes create new sandbox) Can you do something like the above in VB? Are there any settings in VB that allow you to block programs from having access to your sensitive data (Files and folders)? I cant see why you said that VirtualBox is better than Sandboxie regarding Data theft. This settings might not be perfect but they work and very well. If malicious programs cant run or connect, they cant steal nothing. Read, File access>Blocked access and File access>Read only access.Īnd there are settings that allow you to limit the programs that can run and connect to the net in a sandbox. In Sandbox settings>Resource access>File access, there are settings available that can be used for blocking programs running in a sandbox from having access to your personal and business data, files and folders.
