Hello Everyone,
As i mentioned earlier that i will tell some ways to test software before finally installing on your main system, so this thread i will mention all the methods through which software can be checked before installing on main system.

 

We have seen previously that some accounts got compromised, and now we have implemented some security and update some rules, but no matter what we implement or what we setup, there will always be people who wants to harm other system and we can't track all of them, so your security is your own responsibility, that's why you must test software's before installing them on your main system. We are trying our best to increase the security and rules to decrease such case in future but that all will be waste unless you take step yourself and test things on your own.

If yout find any Software which is suspecious, report about it to staff so that an can be taken regarding it.


Method 1 :- Windows Sandbox

  • Windows 10 Version 1903 and above (Pro and Enterprise Edition).
  • Your system must have virtualization enabled.
For Home Edition use this bat file to enable the Windows Sandbox Option :- >Download Here<


Features :-

  • Windows 10 Built in Functionality
  • Small in Size and Easy to Use
  • Data gets Destroyed on Closing the Sandbox
  • Provides Safe Environment for Testing Software's
  • Light Weight and Takes around 1-2 GB space for Windows 10 Sandbox installation and on closing the Sandbox it restores that space

Ok, so if you meet the above requirements than lets move ahead and enable Windows Sandbox

Step - 1 : Open "Turn Windows Features on or off"







Step 2 : Look for Windows Sandbox and Enable it, after enabling it you have to restart your system






Step 3 : Open Start Menu and Look for Sandbox and open it





Step 4 : Now it will take some time and open a Windows 10 Interface


 

Step 5 : Now Copy the software from main system to this Windows Sandbox which you want to test you can also download software through Edge on Windows Sandbox


Step 6 : Now Install the software and apply any crack/patch it open it afterwards


Step 7 : Now if yo don't fell any issue with the program and it works just fine, than you can install it your system, if you find issues on your software running or crack/patch not working or feel some lags or adware or hack issues on that sandbox than don't install the software on main system.


Step 8 : After Successfully Testing, just close the sandbox Windows and it will destroy all data.
