[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 896835, member: 53544"] No, not really. It must be understood that this isn't a sandbox like the one you're used to (Sandboxie, Comodo). This isn't a sandbox for your files and programs. This is a sandbox for Windows Defender itself. [LIST] [*][B]What [/B]does this mean? Sandbox is meant to isolate Defender's processes from the rest of the system. [*][B]Why[/B]? Because in order to protect you, Defender processes are high risk, elevated (permissions) processes, processes which, injected by malware, could be used for catastrophe. [/LIST] Therefore, Windows Defender's Sandbox will isolate important antivirus proccesses from the rest of the system. [U][B][I]From HowToGeek:[/I][/B][/U] [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
