[QUOTE="plat, post: 778233, member: 74969"] Well, is it worth to run Windows Defender sandboxed, then? A little worth it? A lot? I went to the [URL='https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/10/26/windows-defender-antivirus-can-now-run-in-a-sandbox/']horse's mouth[/URL] and 4th paragraph under "Why sandbox? Why now?" basically says what goes in the box, stays in the box. Sounds great; however, I now see that testing here suggests this system is neither fail-safe nor 100% fool proof. Is anyone currently running WD sandboxed? I chose "no"--I have an anti-exe plus I run vulnerable programs like Media Player in Sandboxie. Plus, like I harped on before, this feature currently isn't enabled by default, you have to look for it. Eeww! [/QUOTE]
