I knew it.By default it is useless.

Sandboxie is primarily protection against persistent physical system infection.

Sandboxie must be hardened to protect against virtual session infection as shown in video.

That's why you need a firewall. That's why Comodo is useless with default settings.

IMO the title should be "Does Sandboxie Default setting protect users against hackers and keylogger?!"

Was hoping it would mention how to harden SBIE or that common practice is adding restriction in Internet Access "No programs can access the internet" when testing suspicious files/programs.

Thank you for your communts,
Many users think that Antivirus and SandBoxie is enough for protection.

Thats true,I used Avast! Free Antivirus and Sandboxie pro 3-4 years ago with properly config and tighten the security and it protected me from everything.If Sandboxie is properly config and Antivirus is tightly config then it can't be easily bypassed(I am wrong also).

In terms of Malware protection a default sandbox + configured AV is enough protection, and as @hjlbx mentioned

Sandboxie must be hardened to protect against virtual session infection as shown in video.

But then again against sophisticated attack(ex: APT) its a different story...

As Duo has pointed out, SBIE has an easily clicked setting to prevent access for any sandboxed application. Comodo has a similar setting, although as Comodo also has the Firewall, outbound connections can be prevented (or monitored) in a number of ways.

So although the video is sort of ingenuous, it does point out the need for Outbound alerts for any security setup.

Thanks good video

Obvious that Sandboxie will not protect on that case because its more on isolation, so any crucial information taken will be irreversible.
