[QUOTE="Deleted Member 308817310, post: 822054, member: 80647"] No, they aren't speculations. I'm an engineer who has to actually use the CPU virtualization features as part of my job. Hyper-V doesn't stop malware. Hyper-V is a Virtual Machine software. Hyper-V is used by Windows Sandbox to create a guest environment that the end user can operate. Malware can infect the Hyper-V environment however it cannot escape unless the end user does something silly (e.g. allowing access to an organization network from within Hyper-V) or without a zero-day exploit (which is even less likely than pigs flying to Mars and back at this point). Sandboxie does not offer a guest environment. Sandboxie has no real isolation that exceeds past the main host environment. Sandboxie is definitely not leveraging CPU features designed for virtualization. Sandboxie is relying on APIs which Microsoft developed and control in order to function properly. You're free to use whichever software you want to use and you're also free to have your opinion. However, my point stands... Hyper-V is using a design which is safer than Sandboxie. Whether your opinion conflicts with this is irrelevant because it doesn't change anything. I really hope I don't have to iterate it another time because this is getting a bit ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
