The Windows Antivirus program also uses Default Deny protection which prevents virus infection by allowing only authorized programs to run. Defense+ defends against malicious threats while Sandbox mode runs suspicious files in an isolated environment to secure system registry.
Are programs stored in Sandbox forever?
No. The auto sandbox mode is a temporary virtual system environment created to test run files and programs before they access your original operating system, files and registry. Comodo Internet Security for Windows 8 offers a feature to send suspicious files to Comodo AV labs for detailed analysis. Safe and authorized programs are added to the whitelist while threats join the blacklist of programs. The sandbox is recycled and ready to perform a new set of operations after completing each task.
Can business users make use of the free version?
Yes, it is possible. However, to get comprehensive protection for a large network of computers and to secure important valuable data, we recommend Comodo Endpoint Security Manager (CESM).

How does Sandbox technology work and how does it protect me?
Auto Sandbox technology is an exclusive feature of Antivirus for Windows 8. Comodo Internet Security for Windows 8 comes bundled with the feature which creates an isolated, virtual system environment where all suspicious files and programs will be executed in trial mode before being granted access to your actual system. This prevents any virus or bug from modifying, corrupting or deleting actual data in your computer. The innovative feature provides stronger protection than traditional antivirus and any malicious files found will instantly be added to the blacklist.
Will programs run properly in Sandbox mode?
Yes. The Sandbox is a virtual, isolated extension of your actual desktop integrated with Antivirus for Windows 8. Every suspicious file or program will be executed in this mode with a limited set of privileges. It will be tested thoroughly and confirmed safe before it is granted access to the actual registry. The analysis runs in the background without interrupting your daily activities. Safe programs are given permission while virus, bugs or trojans are permanently denied access to your PC.
