Anyone have experience with this or other programs like it?
I'm using Sandboxie to test a file to see if it's actually a trojan or if it's a false positive.
The file is an executable in a .rar file. I can run winrar sandboxed to extract the files, but i'm not sure how to "move" the file in question to a place where i can test it out, without infecting my files.
In other words, if i simply extract the questionable file to my desktop, will the act of extracting it possibly infect me with a virus, or does it have to be opened first?
Once i have it on my desktop, i can simply run it using sandboxie safely. I'm sure there is a way to do this in sandboxie without extracting the file to my machine, i just don't know how..
Anyone have any ideas? If you'd like more information about the file in question, you'll have to pm me..
Edit: I think i've got it but i'm not sure. What i did:
1. created new folder
2. copy/paste winrar file with suspicious file to new folder
3. right-click on folder and click "run sandboxed"
Now, if i look in the sandboxie control window, the new folder and the winrar file are in a new sandbox. Hopefully this is ok?
