I still like the Burroughs 6700 that my Junior college had as everything ran in a High level ALGOL like Stack Machine hardware implementation with the Burroughs Stack Machine MCP(Operating system) managing all the hardware Stack Pointers and the Burroughs Stack machine architecture intrinsically enforces a secure sort of sandbox supported by that Hardware/OS managed stack pointer and tagged descriptor system. If anything abended that did not affect anything outside of that virtualized environment. This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by lylejk.Įvery student in the advanced 360/370 assembler class at Senior College got a virtualized VM/370 instance on the IBM 4341 so they would not take down the entire mainframe system doing their class assignments. Most IT folk know and appreciate virtualization, but ignorant masses don’t, but maybe now that Microsoft’s entering this fray, they may pick up this concept and run with it. Of course I’m not referring to the people here at AskWoody. Hope folk learn how to properly use sandboxes, but I seriously doubt people will. Glad Microsoft’s finally doing something about addressing the monster in the closet. I saw my share of infected systems during this brief 5 year stint at the PC shop to know that even the best anti-malware program won’t protect you from all attacks and people are creatures of habit and tend to get re-infected despite using such precautions. They ran a program called Deep Freeze and I thought this was awesome. My first experience with sandboxes was when I was working for a PC shop and we helped install systems in a local school. Probably should do so more often, but to do so every time you restart your Sandbox is, well, crazy. I usually do so at least once every 8 or 9 days. I’ll add that in order to mitigate such things as keyloggers and malware creep, you do need to recover to your golden set point often. Such anti-malware programs only gives you a false sense of security. I do have Windows Defender running in my Win10 Host, but for front-line protection, I use my sandbox with golden setpoint recovery.

Will give you a hint….no anti-malware program will protect your system for every mal-ware out there. Problem is, most people are ignorant and depend solely on their anti-malware programs. If you are smart, you would be using a sandbox too.

Been using a sandbox since 2009 don’t need Win10 Pro to do this.
