SandBoxie light weight VMWare
@anyone,
I'm an avid listener of Security Now and in episode #55 a big deal was made of Sandboxie http://www.sandboxie.com/. This is FREE and the registered version ($20) has even more features. Has anyone used Sandboxie in other useful ways :?: -BP |
Thank you BP :!:
This is really great, running any program in a "sandbox". So if a virus is "feeded" while you are in this environment, it blows up your sandbox, but NOT your system files (Very Smart) :lol: I'm now headed over there to listen to that episode, which I missed :!: Thanks!, -kwag |

use Firefox as my default browser, but it keeps using IE :( I can only get Firefox by running it as any application. BTW, check out SN-053 Virtual Machine ware. Listen to the part of about running the same copy of VM Windows XP on multiple different PC's without activation or product key problems. -BP |

This is for Windows 2000 Professional 1) Start -> Control Panel -> Files Options 2) Select Folder Options 3) Find Extensions "HTM" and "HTML" 4) Highlite "HTM" -> click change button -> Select Firefox -> click OK 5) Highlite "HTML" -> click change button -> Select Firefox -> click OK 6) Click OK -> Firefox is now your default browser -BP |
@all,
So far, SBIE has greatly reduced adware, spyware, malware, cookies, temporary internet files, registry entries, and more. My system-tune's show less removeval of the above. :) I can print internet websites from SBIE and download files. I tried limewire, but the download went to the snadbox. I can play aduio files within sandboxie with WMP. :) -BP |
Hi BP,
Yes, indeed :D This is really cool. The only thing that people have to be aware is that downloads, etc., go to the "sandbox" directories, and not to the regular download directories :) But this program is a must, specially for running IE :hihi: -kwag |
