Sandbox Tasks – Introduction

Comodo Internet Security features a fully functional sandbox called the 'Virtual Desktop'- an isolated operating environment for running unknown, untrusted and suspicious applications. Applications executed inside the sandbox/virtual desktop 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.

The Sandbox Tasks interface has shortcuts for the following tasks:

• Run Virtual Desktop - Starts the Virtual Desktop

• Open Shared Space - Opens the folder 'Shared Space' which is shared by your host operating system and the Virtual Desktop. The folder is created by the Virtual Desktop at the location 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Shared Space'. The folder can be opened in both your host operating system and inside the Virtual Desktop, and enables to share files and applications between the OS and the Virtual Desktop.
  

• 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'
