Battle Sandboxie or a better alternative?

[MalwareBeater]

Hi guys. I noticed on the Sandboxie forum that Sandboxie might be bypassed. Do you guys know if there are any good alternatives to Sandboxie? Thanks for any suggestions. I hope I posted this in the right place.

Heffe, I have never said that people should use Sandboxie instead of an antivirus. Please, find one post of mine from anywhere where I recommend to people to stop using an AV. You will not find one. Advising people to stop using an antivirus is wrong and I don't do it. At the same time, there are reasons why it is probably safer to use SBIE on its own instead of using 2, 3 or 4 other applications along SBIE.

I never said you recommended that anyone not use an AV.

Advance users = necessarily with or without AV since our common sense and knowledge from our awareness unless virtualization software is there to test every application which are unknown.

Novice and Average users = A must AV protection in a generally way as awareness is in a lack with the vectors of viruses/malware have high rate of infection.

With the free version, i have to do a workaround to emulate the "force program" feature; i delete/remove all shortcuts to the default browser; then i say "click the yellow pizza" to go internet

i still hoping to win a license for Sbie; if i have to buy it, it may cost me 2 weeks of food...

Umbra, you can create sandboxed shortcuts for your browsers, that way when yo click on them, the browser opens in the default sandbox or the sandbox of your choice. Also, start using a sandboxed Windows Explorer to navigate to your download folder, USB drive, etc.

Using the sandboxed Explorer and the shortcuts don't bring the free version up to the level of the paid version but makes it easier to open the browsers and your PC is safer when you open downloads, USB drives sandboxed.

It is about time that you came around to my way of thinking.

It is what i am doing, the example above is when i set up Sbie in my girlfriend computer, used often by her younger sister to visit flash-based games websites and download crap toolbars.
