and sandboxie has limited in FREE version.
Jack said:Well...to have use the COMODO manual sandbox you need to have CIS installed ...so from start their is major minus.
Also the COMODO sandbox isn't very userfriendly , in order to remove anything from the VritualRoot folder, you need to delete it manually or restarting your computer.
Sandboxie is a dedicated sandbox so I'll vote with this software the main minus would be the nag screen which can be seen after the 30 days....![]()
Jack said:You are using VM Workstation right? This product it's pretty solid so you shouldn't have any malware leaks , just secure your system with a good hips and their won;t be a need to sandbox the VM.
bo.elam said:For me, the answer to which program is better is easy. Sandboxie is better
not only because NOTHING escapes the sandbox but the program usage of
resources is about zero. Neither of those points can be said of Comodos
sandbox
Jack said:The reason why malware testing isn’t safe is because some viruses try to use Virtual Machine ports to communicate with the real-machine, so using a good firewall/hips should prevent that activity.The COMODO Firewall or Online Armor Firewall should secure your system.
Jack said:@HeffeD As far as you know , does COMODO have any plans to release a separate manual sandbox?
Hungry Man said:Comodo's is free. That's enough of a reason to use it for me.
I use Comodo Firewall and Defense+, which I use to sandbox Java and a few other applications. I can also right click suspicious files and run them in a manual sandbox, which will fully virtualize the file system.
I like Comodo, I like ALL programs that do sandboxing as I thinkHeffeD said:I'm not aware of anything that has been able to get out of Comodo's manual sandbox...
I think the big confusion here is that Comodo has two sandboxes in CIS. The automatic sandbox that works on access restriction methods, (similar to the Chromium sandbox) and the manual sandbox, which is a fully virtualized environment.
Currently, I use Sandboxie because the manual sandbox in CIS is not as configurable as Sandboxie is. That is the only reason. I've seen nothing that leads me to believe the manual sandbox is any less secure than Sandboxie.
