[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 773184"] Comodo's sandbox is based on hardware-assisted technology which is integrated into the CPU (e.g. both Intel and AMD have their own versions). This allows Comodo to provide a hyper-visor implementation. Comodo's sandbox is based on virtualisation technology. The recently implemented sandbox for Windows Defender is not leveraging hardware-assisted technology for virtualisation. It's a normal, software-level sandbox container implementation. This means that the sandboxed process is not truly "isolated" from the host environment - the sandbox container simply limits privileges and prevents various things from being allowed (e.g. prevention of anything which violates the enabled exploit mitigation's or exhibits behaviour which is being intentionally blocked through other means), essentially. The original article provides a simple description of how the sandbox container for Windows Defender works. Due to this, you will not need to have certain hardware which supports virtualization (and if you do have sufficient hardware, the virtualization features will not need to be enabled via the BIOS) to use the Windows Defender sandboxing feature.
