Serious Discussion Antivirus Sandbox feature

[harlan4096]

Could you please share which settings should I modify in K Standard?

In Kaspersky section, there are several sticky threads related to K. strong settings, also in the thread of my Configuration You can find my settings, and in PC SetUp Ideas section.

Comodo AV engine is very weak; it relies completely on containment; this is not the scenario with the powerful AV of K.

Comodo was developed based upon Kaspersky's HIPS, Application Control, and Firewall. Then Melih added the Virtualization.

If the containment (virtualization) is configured properly, then AV is not all that important - and that is why Melih has never spent the time, effort, and money to create a strong signature backend - which is expensive to create and maintain (and one of the primary reasons that CAV got scuttled). With virtual containment in the Comodo sandbox or virtual machine, it is the same principle as running malware within a hardened virtual machine and then rolling back to a known clean snapshot.

Just like disciplined use of properly configured Sandboxie results in clean host system. The problem is people and "disciplined use."

People like to bash Comodo, but the thing is - it is a zero-cost product that generates no revenue to sustain its further development and maintenance. That means there is - and there never has been - a dedicated CIS/CFW developer team. If a product owner gives it away for free, then it is up to the owner to decide the level of quality they want that free product to have. A point that is lost on a lot of people - especially the ones that constantly complain about Comodo. If they paid money for it, then their complaints are reasonable. But since they do not pay, they have no right to complain.

Yes, Vivaldi is not supported. However, it can work if you rename the executable file from vivaldi.exe to chrome.exe. The problem is that every time you update, you will need to rename it back to chrome.exe.

Tried, but did not work.

Really? It doesn't work on Vivaldi? I should have tested it right away, because I hadn't used Vivaldi in a while. It works on Brave. Look. Now I can't delete my post, I need to test it again. Vivaldi is on another partition on Windows 10.

I'll download Vivaldi and test it here to make sure. Is there another browser that you use and like so you can test it? You're a friend. @Gandalf_The_Grey had a bug in Osprey Browser Protection the other day where the context menu didn't appear after updating. I told him that my browsers don't have this context menu bug. I told him I would test it on Chrome, Edge, and Brave. He ended up solving it by reinstalling the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. But I told him that since I was already working on it, literally speaking, I would test it for him. So, I did the tests and took the opportunity to update the three browsers, as I mentioned, Chrome, Edge, and Brave, and then showed him all the updated browsers and the Osprey extension. He asked me what it could be, and I said it was probably some bug that could be in Chrome or Osprey. I said it was difficult to know because it was so rare.

Very kind of you, my friend.
Actually I am using Vivaldi as the my main browser for a couple of days after being recommended by @lokamoka820
I am impressed; it is near perfect; just missing two things, support for K extension in order not to be obliged to enable scan of encrypted connections, and turning on dark web page per site as in Yandex browser.

Hello everyone, as the image below informs me that I opened a program in the sandbox, but I no longer need it. I closed the program and verified that the created sandbox folder still exists.

How do I remove/reset this folder so that it disappears!

That's a good question. I don't recommend deleting that folder, especially since it's hidden. Avast uses that folder to isolate unknown files. Check the Avast settings for the option to reset the sandbox. Then come back and let us know if it worked.

Why I asked this question is because I have already used COMODO's sandbox, but the antivirus has the option to remove the folder after you no longer need it.

However, Avast does not have this option to remove this folder after you no longer use it.

What I noticed is that when I restarted the computer this folder disappeared.

That's why I wanted to know if there is an option within Avast to remove this folder like COMODO does.

Not allowing unauthorized application to run (not by default) is literally sandbox like feature at Kaspersky.

Not allowing unauthorized application to run (not by default) is literally sandbox like feature at Kaspersky.

Not allowing unauthorized application to run is "application control"; it is the opposite of sandbox which allows all applications to run, but in a contained environment.
