[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 842328, member: 23015"] Yes, sure it is, but anti executables and sandboxies dont have much value for the average user (not the completely layman) in a domestic environment, they are much more suitable for corporate usage. The reason for this is because in most cases they are just blocking what the user wants to do without telling "him" why (usually they cant mark the file as malicious like an antivirus). For example, the home user wants to run a crack (with a patch function), the antiexecutable or/and sandbox will simple be disabled because he wants to pirate that software and he will run the file anyway, unless the antivirus explicitly tell him that the file is actually dangerous, so in another words, get the real crack and not a disguised malware. I dont need an antiexecutable to block[I] [U]hot party photos.jpg.exe[/U][/I], but I want an antivirus to protect me if I made a misjudgment while running the software that I need, a thing that a sandbox, because of some nasty malware tricks, cant do. Kaspersky, ESET, Symantec and other big players would love to save resources that they spend with signature crafting, cloud infrastructure, researchers, false positive testing with "static" solutions like sandboxies and anti executables, but they cant do that, because those are not the answer for the malware problem.
