[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 974544, member: 32260"] They can be hardly compared, or can like karate to jujitsu. SD and WS use very different virtualization approaches. ShadowDefender does not restrict spying. It is not a sandbox, so the malware can have full read access to files, like without ShadowDefender. Windows Sandbox allows access to files in the sandbox and a few other folders (optionally). Shortly: SD is like virtual reality and WS is like virtual jail. There are some potential problems to solve when using ShadowDefender to test malware: [LIST=1] [*]The malware can spread over the network and infect other machines. [*]The malware can spy and upload files to the attacker. [*]The malware can infect the router. [*]SD may not work with some Windows security features. [/LIST] Of course, the malware can as well escape the SD or WS. But, using SD is rare so it is probably safer in this aspect. [/QUOTE]
