[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 738824, member: 32260"] You probably had in mind Sandboxie free for protecting the web browser. Yet, Sandboxie (paid) in this setup is not for protecting web browsers, but mainly for: [LIST] [*]Running sandboxed all vulnerable applications, like: Office applications, Document viewers, etc. [*]Opening all files from the vulnerable folders / disks in the sandboxes. This has to be a paid version because the free version has not got such features. [/LIST] The user can prepare as many different sandboxes as he wants. I used, for example, a sandbox that killed opening / running any file from some folders. In the above setup, Sandboxie works similarly to Comodo Firewall with CS settings (without Trusted Vendors List) - SmartScreen is a replacement for Trusted Vendors List and File Lookup features.
