Running Untrusted Programs in the Sandbox
Comodo Internet Security allows you to run programs inside the Sandbox on a 'one-off' basis. This is helpful to test the behavior of new executables that you have downloaded and/or you are not sure that you trust. There are a couple of ways of doing this:
Run a program inside the sandbox by right-clicking
1. Browse to the installation folder of the .exe file through Windows
Explorer
2. Right click on the program that you want to run inside the sandbox
3. Choose 'Run in COMODO Sandbox' from the context sensitive menu
Run a program in the sandbox via the Sandbox Tasks interface
1. Click 'Sandbox Tasks' > 'Run Virtual' from the 'Sandbox Tasks' interface
2. To run an application inside the sandbox, click 'Choose and Run' then browse to the application. The application will run with a green border indicating that it is sandboxed. If you wish to run the application in the sandbox in future, then select 'Create a virtual desktop shortcut'
3. Browse to the application and click 'Open'. In the example above, Open Office Writer is chosen.
Note. By default, all 'unknown' programs are automatically run in the sandbox. You can disable this behavior and/or modify sandboxing rules in the 'Auto-Sandbox' settings area. To access this interface. To
access this interface – open 'Tasks' > 'Sandbox Tasks' >
Open Advanced Settings.
