Sandboxie Vist 64. :-(
Sup all you tech people,

My concern lies with my new computers Vista 64 Bit OS, Sandboxie doesnt support 64 bit.......

My question is: Is there an alternative, or what are all the others with Vista 64 bit Using or doing for security precautions?

And what the diff between 64 bit and 32 bit?

Peace

Neb.

An alternative would be to use VMware Player and use it to run a Ubuntu Linux virtual machine. Unbuntu has Firefox, and you can use it for surfing. All infections will be contained inside the Linux virtual machine.
