Re: Sandboxie - A Virtual Protection

And not only is it useless with anything other than web browsing in a glorified incognito mode, the claim of confining threats to the sandbox environment and restricting everything to a virtual environment is a load of rubbish. In a few minutes mucking around with it I've managed to create persistent drive mappings outside the sandbox from inside the 'protected' browser, share the PC's entire hard drive to the world, as well as access any and all personal data of the user running it. And I'm not even a hacker.

Any web browser's built-in sandboxing architecture is far better than this already. Snake oil IMO.
Well chum, that is your useless opinion, which makes two of us who know nothing about anything according to your rant eh ? Your knowledge of what Sandboxie actually is and does amounts to a big fat zero. Hopefully some other posters will reply with a more rational view of computers. Your post is an irresponsible joke.

With replies like yours, it is a waste of my time even looking at this thread again, You can think what you like matey, but everything I said is perfectly valid.

Who the hell do you think you are throwing insulting remarks about that I know nothing about PC security, sounds like I know a sight more than you do. From your diatribe it does not seem as if you could half fill a postage stamp up with your self appreciated knowledge.
