Sandbox Tasks – Introduction
Comodo Internet Security features a fully functional sandbox called the 'Virtual Kiosk'- an isolated operating environment for running unknown, untrusted and suspicious applications. Applications executed inside the sandbox/virtual kiosk will not affect other processes, programs or data on your real computer. In addition to running suspicious applications inside the sandbox on an ad-hoc basis, you can create a specific list of programs that should always run in the sandbox.
|
Note: The sandbox referred to here is a fully virtualized environment and is distinct to the 'auto-sandbox' configured under Behavior Blocker. Users can, however, enable 'Full Virtualization' of auto-sandboxed files in the Behavior Blocker settings. |
The Sandbox Tasks interface has shortcuts for the following tasks:
-
Run Virtual Kiosk - Starts the Virtual Kiosk.
-
Open Shared Space - Opens the folder 'Shared Space' which is shared by your host operating system and the Virtual Kiosk. The folder is created by the Virtual Kiosk at the location 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataShared Space'. The folder can be opened in both your host operating system and inside the Virtual Kiosk, and enables to share files and applications between the OS and the Kiosk.
-
Run Virtual - Allows you to run individual applications in the sandbox.
-
Reset Sandbox - Allows you to clear all data written by programs run inside the sandbox.
-
Open Advanced Settings – Add programs that should always run inside the sandbox and access advanced sandbox settings. This is covered in the 'Configure the Sandbox' section of 'Advanced Settings'
