[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 575893, member: 32547"] Maybe this issue comes down to "what's best for each user". Then also, maybe all current security concepts can still be improved in some aspects. For example, could Comodo do a better job of examining sandboxed apps for "misbehavior" and of keeping the user updated about these behaviors in some special/separate way from the normal?...make it easier for the user to track activities of sandboxed applications? Who knows what AppGuard will be like in 2 or 3 years? I feel there is still room for creative improvements. At this point, it is true that malware can be smart about sandboxing and fool a user. This is a long shot to work, though, and security is still high. One other thing. On lockdown mode with AppGuard it's important to research software. So, is anyone saying this is not true with those who favor the sandbox approach? This is good practice for everyone, correct? In this context, both methods are effective. I will say this, though. If something strange happens or a very sophisticated attack occurs and an installer is phoney somehow, Comodo does have your back with the sandbox. That's very nice to know. The rest is up to user LOL I admit. I am assuming all the research about the application intended to install has been done before running this hypothetical phoney installer. I am asking myself if it is important to examine the user's intention for the particular/one PC being protected. True, lockdown will protect and also true that one should know everything about a program before installing. Yet, cruelsister may be right about one thing. It is human to find oneself in a hurry. Comodo gives one last opportunity to correct the issue when software must be installed. So I feel both Umbra and cruelsister are correct. [/QUOTE]
