Is the admin inside Sandboxie real or virtual?

Post by astronaut3213 »

If the software I run as admin inside Sandboxie is malicious, is it able to escape the sandbox? If the admin inside sanbox is the real admin, then it has the same privilege as sandboxie itself, correct? In that case, the malware will just be able to remove all restrictions Sandboxie impose on it.

If the admin inside sandbox is virtual, how is it achieved?

No mater if the sandboxed process is admin or not it will be contained withing the sandbox,
that said, a admin process will have more opportunity to exploit a potential yet unknown vulnerability than a non admin one.
