The sandbox is a virtual operating environment for untrusted programs – ensuring viruses and other malicious software are completely isolated from the rest of your computer.

Comodo Endpoint 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 or for applications that you are not sure that you trust.

Adding a program in this way means that it will run in the Sandbox this time only. On subsequent executions it will not run in the sandbox (presuming it passes the sandboxing process).

You can also create a desktop shortcut to run the application inside the sandbox on future occasions. The following image shows hows a 'virtual' shortcut will appear on your desktop:

To run an application in the Sandbox: Open the Sandbox Tasks interface and Click 'Run Virtual'.

The 'Run Virtual' dialog will be displayed.

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'.

Browse to the application and click 'Open'. In the example above, Open Office Writer is chosen.

Alternatively, you can run an application inside the sandbox by the following shortcut methods:

→ By dragging-and-dropping the application on to CES Home screen

→ From the context sensitive menu

→ Running browsers inside sandbox

Drag-and-drop the application on to CES Home Screen:

The Home screen of the Comodo Endpoint Security interface has a flippable pane at the left side allowing you to run instant scans or run a program in sandbox. To flip the pane to carry out these tasks, just click the curved arrow at the top right side of the pane.

To run a program in a sandbox, first flip the pane by clicking the curved arrow at the top right side to display 'Sandbox Objects'.

Now, navigate to the program in your system that you want to run in sandboxed environment and just drag and drop into the box.
