BZ version 4.00-363.
Runs in User Admin (NOT Default Admin, don’t run that) and Limited User.
Starts but will not fully load in Guest Account.
Clean install and able to work around incompatiblilty issue with COMODO as I do not use CIS.
Guest account restricted policies are to blame, here for BZ starting, running but GUI does not appear when commanded?
Runs perfectly in other two accounts.
I think it will only run in Admin as it needs the privileges. Saw some posts about Bufferzone here. Might give you some ideas. Tried Bufferzone before but could not make it work with Comodo. Ditched the idea. Personally I’d still use Sandboxie. Maybe kjdemuth can help you. I saw his post there in the links below.
I appreciate the answers you’ve given.
BZ did run for me in both USER Admin and Limited User. However, I determined, by examining changes to folders and files on my computer, after a successful install, that changes, some hidden, were made despite Trustware’s assertion that BZ was designed to more completely protect my computer from malware coming from the internet than Sandboxie, for example. I determined this after I had run BZ for more than a couple of days.
Various YouTube videos have the user deliberately downloading malware with no effect on their machine.
Or so they say.
I would guess that they did not look for subtle and hidden changes like I did.
For example, I downloaded aqua3scr.exe from a known malware screensaver site to test. Apparently with COMODO and other configurations on this machine, the file downloaded and I ran it, but it just disappeared.
I did not clear BZ until after I found the following:
I went and looked for it and found a 0 byte folder in VritualRoot folder with the name of the malware, along with my entire C: drive and limited user files. In total there were eight 0 byte folders one after the other, all nested in subfolders in VritualRoot.
Along with the problem of getting Windows Media Player to run (this caused the machine to basically freeze, so much so I had to force a shut-down) I decided, like you, this did not belong on my machine.
I would not call BZ a VM, not by a long shot.
So much potential, but pragmatically speaking, not a program for the average user out there. And those are the people that need this program and this level of protection.
So BZ is no more, and have restored to an earlier disk image made just before I installed. It really was a waste of my time. Disappointed. :-[ Just glad I did not pay for it.
Yeah I agree there that BZ has the potential…but so so…
It’s the development that’s the problem there. The product is “really” a good potential. Can be used with Returnil and set-ups without a 3rd party firewall.
I had an email from the a BZ staff when they were trying to hype up the BZ ver4 in Facebook. I had the same sentiments and sent an email with some questions. He(the BZ staff said also that it is designed to be operational with Comodo/Online Armor but was not able t tell me “how”). Can’t even perform a custom install etc…
Even their forums are I think not operational. Now how can they say that they can completely protect one’s pc properly when they cannot even manage their own support forum…?
That test that you did was good. But then again even if you decide later to go and contact Trustware about I doubt if you’ll get the response you want.
Melih should buy BZ and develop it to a more potent one!
Have you tried GesWall…(well also a very good one but development/budget seems stagnant now). A lot are still using GesWall and is effective in some of the tests that aigle did for the Blackday trojan stuff etc…
malik1976,
I agree Melih should look into buying or developing this program. It could be that developing this program is too daunting or expensive to see it to fruition. We’ll see.
I think I’ll wait on GesWall for now…
Just checked on Trustware’s forum, and even though there have been 25 views, there is no reply yet. Posted on Jan 18, maybe too early?
Maybe nothing will come of it, anyway. As I said, it is gone, banished forever.
Thanks.
Yeah. Think of it…Bufferzone with Comodo or incorporated with Comodo! Great suite there! Have a nice day
