Five sandboxing apps to protect your Windows computer (Download Squad)

Mar 16th 2009 12:06PM I was trying out Returnil and decided that I didn't like it all that much over just using VMware. So uninstalled it and rebooted. After booting back up my machine would display the desktop and that was it. I couldn't click Ctrl Alt Del or anything. So I tried SafeMode and I had a little more function, but not much. I was just going to use the roll back feature in XP to back to the day before install and I could select the day and that was it. So I decided to reimage my system drive. Image done, started up and my system was fine until I clicked on my storage drive. Then my system was messed up again. So I booted to my Ubuntu Live CD and mounted all my drives. Come to find out Returnil had put Autorun.ini files on all my drives. So that when I clicked them it altered my system. So I cleaned out the Autorun.ini files and some other little files noted in the autoruns. Reimaged the system drive again and everything was fine.

I don't suggest using Returnil.
