[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 965348, member: 86910"] I definitely suggest you to use a VM, e.g., VirtualBox, instead. Sandboxie is better than nothing in regards to protection but unsafe to use for malware contact on a regular basis, which is what seems to be the case here. The reasons are described in papers like these: [URL unfurl="true"]https://bromiumlabs.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/application_sandboxes_a_pen_tester_s_perspective2.pdf[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://paper.bobylive.com/Meeting_Papers/BlackHat/Europe-2013/bh-eu-13-thes-sandbox-wojtczuk-slides.pdf[/URL] I am not aware what new features were implemented since these papers were published, but the most interesting takeaway of that: The weaknesses it has are by design of that technology. They cannot just be eradicated. --> see first paper: "Type A sandboxes by design, are vulnerable to a relatively large attack surface." Sandboxie is a type A sandbox. [/QUOTE]
