[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 601706, member: 7463"] About sandboxing browsers- Yes, Comodo does offer this, but its usefulness depends on how you have the rest of CF setup. With my settings, sandboxing the browsers does not really offer very much. For example, let's consider a recently popular exploit- this one actually composed of two items, ransomware AND a Pony info stealer. What must be remembered (and all too often is not) is that any exploit, in order to infect your system, MUST act locally By this I mean that some payload(s) have to be transferred onto your system to have the desired malicious effect. In this case we would have two separate payloads, the ransomware and pony, both of which will be sandboxed no matter if the browser is virtualized or not. I've shown enough in the past that CF just laughs at ransomware, so tis will not be any issue; and the info stealer being in the box cannot transmit out. And as with any malware of the info stealing type, it can collect all the information it wants. but as long as it cannot transmit this information to me (I mean the Blackhat), who really cares?
