hey guys!
i`m wondering if there are any security softwares like the ones mentioned in the title. free or paid, of course.
these apps were working like this: if apps are coming from untrusted sources ex internet, usb, cd/dvd, the apps were automatically marked as untrusted and ran in an isolated environement. at the end of the installation, or after observing the behaviour of the app installed, you were able to delete all the data created by it or mark it as trusted and let it installed on the pc. please correct me if i`m wrong.
don`t tell me about sandboxie. i allready know it/use it.
i allready looked on alternativeto and other sites like it.

thanks alot @venustus ! auto containment on. hips off (no need to notify me as long as app is contained), fw on. tested with a dozen of new malware samples and all contained. their av engine is pretty weak. after resetting the container all is gone, no malware on the system, no files left.

I was a huge fan of geswall and had Bufferzone on another computer. Both were great. Today, I don't think you can go wrong with Comodo firewall with Cruelsister settings. Easy to set up, only a few clicks, and as solid protection as you'll find anywhere.

I have v12.0.0.6882 rather than the latest, which causes minor problems on this laptop. 6882 gives me no trouble. Currently using something else, but I always return to Cruel Comodo.

I checked and had installed version 12.2.2.7036. Maybe the last version that came out 2020/11/26, version 12.2.2.7062 would have fixed the issues?? To try later...

Full version .6882. This download includes antivirus, if I recall, but you can just click options and untick the AV part for just the firewall, and it's a safe download.

Probably for information only - there is for sure one not mentioned app :cool: It's SysWatch earlier developed as Safe'n'Sec. Free version called Personal is from years closed as project but company still is developing paid commercial versions.

No trouble here. At the time I downloaded it, I also had Voodooshield on board. No alert from VS. I downloaded v.6882 from the site on recommendation from Comodo Forums. I'd think if there was malware attached, they wouldn't advise people of the download.

Moderator, if you feel it wise, go ahead and delete the link. Better to be safe than sorry, just in case VS missed a bug.

I got to say that their website is absolutely horrible. I imagine if they re-designed it and made it easier to navigate, included screenshots and comparison charts, they would get a lot more business.

It seems like a bad move that they don't offer the personal version anymore. If anything, they could have kept it around and charged for it. I guess that's what their Workstation version is?

I remember really liking SysWatch (including the GUI) and thinking it had a lot of potential.
