Sophos Sandboxie builds and prior builds of classic Sandboxie

Whoa--I was going to put down Internet Explorer and guess what? You can still dredge it up, even in 21H1 preview which is what I'm running now. So it's not defunct yet--it's alive, it's alive. But its performance is terrible compared to what it was back in the day.

For a short time, running IE in Sandboxie on Windows 10 was nigh perfect until the legacy Edge came along. I then ditched IE for Edge and SBIE couldn't work with that, of course.

I'm writing this from IE. It can't compare to the modern browsers now so in that respect, it's defunct. But it's still acessible in Windows 10.



edited to clarify specifically Sophos builds of Sandboxie--nothing else.

I see that Sophos is not doing too well in the Hub at the moment, but I wouldn't call it defunct.

Both already mentioned. Sygate Personal Firewall and Geswall. Sygate maybe the best firewall ever, and Geswall never let me down. Two of the best of their kind.

AOL Active Virus Shield. A free version of Kaspersky which was only supported for one year. It was available for everyone, not just AOL customers.

Roboscan. It was a very light antivirus using Bitdefender signatures. Now days, only the Korean language version, ALYac, is still supported.

Giant AntiSpyware..A good product back in the day!

Nostalgic! I remember the heyday of XP. I really regret that MT didn't exist at that time.

The security software I first encountered. At that time, I used the information I gathered without understanding it.

Prevx, now a part of Webroot:

Although already mentioned, Online Armor was one of my favorite security software. Too bad Emsisoft killed it off
