If you wish to go into intimate detail concerning Sandboxie`s capabilities and limitations or have some criticisms to make, I am not the person to satisfy your curiosity. I suggest you put your comments and queries etc. direct to the Sandboxie experts, either by joining their Forum or by direct contact.
The Forum is - http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/ and you will find an abundance of enthusiasm to answer your questions in ex[licit detail. |
I haven't asked any questions. I have also not expressed any concerns about sandboxie's capabilities, nor do I have any to express. I outlined one possible infection method (one that I have experienced myself, but a combination of security on my shares and a good antivirus detected the virus and stopped it infecting my machine) that it seems sandboxie would not protect the user against, and I suspect it's not intended to.
I have concerns about your apparent belief that sandboxie is a replacement for good security practice (which should *always* include running up to date software) rather than an addition to good security practice. No security tool I know of is intended to be a total solution to security problems on a PC and I suspect such a tool is not possible.

If you feel that my OP and following posts are a load of rubbish, then fine if it makes you happy.
I am more than happy with Sandboxie. I am not going to be pilloried for anything I have said and will no longer argue these irrelevant issues. If you do not like Sandboxie, then carry on with your outdated AV programs.
My thread was to portray the benefits of Sandboxie as I see it and from my own 10 years experience, albeit in my own words and to the best of my knowledge, not to become embroiled in some personal fracas.
Read my OP +, read what Sandboxie says, make your own judgement, then take it or leave it and let the personal aggravation drop.

That's just it. What you have said directly contradicts claims made on their own website. Either you are wrong, or they are. If they are wrong, they are mis selling the product, an act which is illegal under the sale of goods act.
I don't believe they are wrong, and I don't believe that sandboxie is intended as a replacement for good AV, patching or a good firewall.
