[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 550487"] [USER=53180]@Lucent Warrior[/USER] what happens when you run safe files - like MS Office, browser, etc - in the VS Local Sandbox ? The reason I ask... Webroot has a local sandbox, but every time you try to run a legitimate, known safe program in its sandbox - 99.5 % of the time those programs won't run in the sandbox either. So there is no way for a user to distinguish a safe from an unsafe program by running it in the Webroot sandbox. The Webroot sandbox does not provide any meaningful, useful feedback to the user. Using COMODO sandbox, most safe programs will run - but sometimes they will misbehave - or won't run at all due to the heavily restricted access rights within the sandbox. Once again, there is no meaningful feedback to the user that a program is safe or unsafe - other than if it does not execute or terminates and the user fully understands COMODO sandbox's access rights. In other words, if a program\file does not run or terminates in COMODO sandbox, then it is an indication that the program\file is suspicious - but how many users know that ? [/QUOTE]
