A further issue is that current malicious macros have been doing checks to see if they are running in virtual environments. Aside from the majors, Sandboxie (since being bought out) has also been included. So run an infected Document in SBIE and it acts like a playful kitten; run it outside of the box and it turns into a ravenous beast and rips your heart out.

Just do not enable macros in either Micrososft Office or Apache Open Office and disable powershell (which is the most popular recently) in Windows.
I liked the idea of disabling powershell

Is there any easy way to disable/enable Power Shell when I need it?

I noticed that the shared folder, where the downloads go, is only partially virtualized.
If I try to open an exe file it is blocked, but if I open a Word file or a PDF file, it opens unsandboxed
Isn't that a security problem? One of the most common attack vectors is through a Word file or PDF file that has malicious code.


excuse me guys, I have a similar question

let me do a comparison to explain: do you know how SBIE works? if you download something it is kept sandboxed unless you take it out of the SB; even if you open windows explorer, you can0t reach the file in your regular download folder, you can find it only in SBIE folder.
I'd like comodo to work in the same way. insted if i open WE i can reach the file and open it unsandboxed.
how can i make comodo work like SBIE? thank you
