Hi guys. I was wondering if you guys thought that Sandboxie or the Comodo Internet Security 6 sandbox are better? It seems like that Sandboxie does not really work with Comodo Internet Security 6. If you guys think Sandboxie is better then could you recommend a good firewall. Thanks for any help guys.
Sandboxie or Comodo Internet Security 6 sandbox?

Back in December, there were incompatibility issues between Sandboxie and CIS 6. If I recall correctly it was mainly the flash player on web browsers. Not sure if it has been fixed as I do not use neither of them.
I do know that up to version 5.12 of CIS, no problems were visible between Sandboxie and Comodo. So if you are having problems, you could temporary revert to CIS 5.10/5.12.
As for the virtualization debate between Sandboxie and Comodo's Kiosk, Sandboxie has been around for longer, as Umbra said.
However, to be honest, I found it easier to use Comodo's Kiosk as opposed to Sandboxie.
Both provide adequate protection.
Hi ad18, I ll give you the best reason why you should build your security around Sandboxie. SBIE is a proven product and that takes time, years. If you go to the Sandboxie forum, you will NOT find people reporting getting infected. Take a guess why is that.
I don't know if Comodo is not getting along well with Sandboxie but you could try using CIS, disable the sandbox and use it along Sandboxie. If CIS conflicts with SBIE despite disabling the sandbox, find something else that runs well with SBIE.
Sandboxies protection is not "adequate" as mentioned by Biozfear, actually it is excellent and as good as you could expect from any security application.
Anyway, people who learn how to use Sandboxie properly don't get infected. You are lucky that you already know about Sandboxie, its up to you to make the wise decision of using it and if you do, you will become one of those users that visit the Sandboxie forum and don't get infected.

Yes definitely I agree there
It's been 4 years of use for me for Sandboxie and it has grown on me so it's been a staple for all my systems including that of my siblings/friends. If your not a power user the free version will suit yo good. Learning curve is a bit long for me as I needed to ask and ask, visit some sites for tutorials etc. I do find it more configurable especially the paid version.
On one of my systems I have upgraded to CIS ver6. Still learning the ropes for the sandbox and kiosk. Seems to be a very good one but I can't comment on it yet as it's only been 2 weeks of use. Firefox/Iron opens a bit slower than SBIE. Can't assign folders to my prefs like SBIE but in time I think I will like the way it works. The CIS ver6 sandbox has been improved and it's still new. It will improve greatly in the next few builds(I hope). The CIS ver6 gui I find slow to respond though atop that you have to familiarize yourself with it as it is a new gui..shades of Kaspersky.
I hope customization tips/ideas will evolve here for the CIS sandbox and kiosk soon as it is very interesting to use.
Right now my vote still "is" for Sandboxie.

Gotta agree with Bo,his post is totally right :yeahthat:
Ad18, this old video might help you on your quest to learn about Sandboxie. Like I said, it is old but still pretty good to watch when you are learning about SBIE. Matt, the guy that made it was not familiar on how to use SBIE at the time but listen to what he says. I think he is right on the money the way he describes what you get out of using Sandboxie.

Comodo Virtual Kiosk is an integral part of Comodo Internet Security 6. To use the Virtual Kiosk, you need to have CIS installed.
CIS 6 supports Windows 8, remember to do a custom install to avoid installing GeekBuddy and Dragon (browser).

Correct. It utilizes the manual sandbox in CIS. Without the sandbox, there would be no Kiosk.
Also note that upon the first run of the Kiosk, it will want to install Comodo Dragon and Silverlight. Dragon is only necessary because Comodo feels it is the most secure browser, and Silverlight is only necessary if you plan to use the "Metro" aspect of the Kiosk. (Webapps)
If you choose not to install either of these, Kiosk opens in "Classic Mode". Which is similar to your normal desktop. (Unless of course your desktop is the Metro interface of Windows 8...)
You can also invoke the Kiosk directly by just running the Kiosk.exe in the Comodo program folder.
As far as strictly the sandbox is concerned, it's likely superior to Sandboxie's virtualization. The developers feel it's the most advanced virtualized sandbox on the market. The lead developer mentioned why it's better than Sandboxie, but quite frankly, it went right over my head...
I still prefer to use Sandboxie for its configurability though.
No, I didn't do very intensive testing with the Kiosk, because it's not something that appeals to me.
