Sandboxie & Exploits

[Tony Cole]

Hi Everyone:

I'm currently using Sandboxie or 64 bit PC, Windows 8.1. Would Sandboxie stop an exploit, I have the sandbox to automatically delete when the browser closes?

Bromium researches demonstrated that Sandboxie can be bypassed by the use of a vulnerability exploits. I can't remember which one(s) specifically. Below is one link.

The likelihood of this sort of vulnerability being exploited on your system is very remote indeed.

It will be all right ... keep your sanity.
