[Review] Sandboxie

[Gnosis]

Right on, Bo.
Sandboxie is looking better all the time, esp. after the recent malware emergence that allegedly exploits BB and HIPS vulnerabilities.

This kind of problem is exactly the reason why I say that "Picking infected sites is not like going to the country and picking cherry's". Any site can be infected, that's why I don't trust any site and always use SBIE and NoScript when browsing.

So, here is another perfect example of why we should always browse sandboxed and use NoScript. This kind of problem is not a problem for people using either program. I use both, NoScript blocks, Sandboxie contains.

I need to be more vigilant when it comes to running "no script". I deactivate it from time to time and forget to turn it back on.

I'm really confident on this virtualization software, light, simple, tiny size of installation then that's all just a supervision to teach by a user and everything is set.

Great review as always!
I've a query;
How can I run Firefox & Google Chrome browser run in sandboxed? I've tried to run them in sandboxed but they hanged (F.F/G.C) and became non-responsive where as the default sandbox (Internet explorer) runs very well.

Any screenshot for the creation of the default box for firefox/google chrome browser will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

no screenshots but "guidelines" for securing Sbie (for chrome, but can be transported for FF)
