Sandboxie 3.44

Sandboxie by Ronen Tzur Screenshot Sandboxie Screenshot

Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. This allows you to remove traces of your Internet or PC activities, as well as reverse any changes to your Favorites, home page, registry and more. Even files that were downloaded during a sandbox session will be wiped after the sandbox is cleared. The program runs in the system tray and if you want to start a sandboxed session, simply launch your browser, or any other program via the tray icon, rather than the regular way.

Usefull: Open untrusted programs, test programs by installing them into a sandbox. Some times a bit hard to understand the more advanced option. It's a usefull program. I use it to run programs I don't fully trust or to find out whether I like a program I downloaded. I instal it first in the sandbox and run it from the sandbox. If I like it I instal the program again outside the sandbox (though it is possible to take the sandbox files and stuff out of the sandbox). If I don't like it I empty and close the sandbox and it all never happend. It's another barrier for malware to take when attempting to take over my computer.

"Great way to defend your computer from viruses." I had a nasty little trojan telling me I need to subscribe to a particular virus program. I went to the sandboxie menu and told it to delete contents. No more trojan! Excellent program!! Nothing to complain about. One of the most essential program for your computer. This program is very easy to use. I feel comfortable surfing the web because sandboxie will keep the viruses isolated from the rest of the computer. Go to there website to see how it works.

"Excellent Browsing Security." Great for safe surfing,and prevention of infection from downloads. Not the easiest software to understand . Take the trouble to thoroughly read the information provided if you are a non technical user as I am.Well worth persevering to understand and use correctly for the advantages gained in improving security. Easy enough and clear to run,and see the indicators that you are running in the Sandboxed environment.No problems experienced using it on Windows 7.

I guess I don't have to give up IE 6 after all.

It would be nice if there was a brief log of the changes somewhere for the betas so I know if I'm affected since I'm using XP and I assume most of the new stuff is for Win 7 or Vista.

"Great program" Very nice program, Ive been looking for one to wipe away spyware that can get to me through my browser, removing with so many antispyware's is a haste. I find the program easy to use, just read the instructions on the website and I was set. There are no cons. Great lil program thanks.

"Great piece of kit." Does what it says on the box Not easy to understand,had to watch youtube video, which is more helpful thanSandboxie site. If used properly You'll not have to worry where you browse or what you download.

"Best antivirus replacement" it locks any downloads,cookies, and history files great if you use a computer only for web browsing and offline activities you can lock malware in this folder that youcan delete once in a will. Does waranty protection from viruses. the interface is a bit confusing for regular people

"Very Good Program Highly recommend for everybody" This program keeps you safe especially when you surf online and also when you download a file or program(from online) which you are not sure whether if it's safe or not that can potentially hurt your computer system. My only con for this program is kinda advance not a user friendly type. But still a good program Overall this program is great(I would had said a solid program but I haven't tested it yet if would really prevent it from malicious program that can destroy your system).

darkwzrd1: And I should assume YOU are the expert on this, ass-wipe? My comparison to MacOS was not about simply comparing apples and oranges, it was about the fact that mac began the move to x64 quite some time ago, windows is now following and THUS saying that x64 sucks and ms sucks is not a valid reason not to code x64 sandboxie. I was talking architecture, and nothing else. So kiss my arse, smartmouth.

@Diam0nd, you do realize that MacOS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was just released about a month ago which just made it a true 64-bit operating system, before this release it only offer limited 64-bit capabilities. Your reference to MacOS doesn't even make any sense in the first place, since Sandboxie is Windows based. If your so brilliant Diam0nd, why don't you personally code a similiar application with 64-bit capabilities. Let me guess? You don't have the slighest clue what the hell your talking about. You need to get a life or maybe a girlfriend...

darkwzrd1 Go eat a schlong, you ****ing moron. I didn't even say the program was bad and I rated it 5, because I like it. g**d*** imbecile. Sack of s***. kbsoftware No there WAS a point in my reference to MacOS. There point is that it's an OS that's been 64 bit for a long time. Windows is moving in that direction too, and I simply do not believe it is hard or impossible to code a x64 version of Sandboxie. I personally see very little benefit of 64bit for majority of ordinary users, but the trend really IS a move into x64 architecture, so adapting is the key I guess.

this program is excellent to prevent 32bit OS from malware attacks. launch what u want in the box, it should block 99% of bad codes that want to compromise your system.

STILL no 64-bit version ... :( When are you going to open your eyes ??? When we get the 128-bit operating systems ... I've been in 64-bit mode since 2003. That's six (6) years beings you can only count 32, 32, 32, 32 ... First one out with 64 bit has got my undivided attention!!!
