Publisher's description of Sandboxie
From Tzuk:When you browse the Web, changes occur to your computer system. Some harmless, like recording the addresses of Web sites you have visited, so the browser can help you complete a Web address that you type in. Some more harmful, like the unsolicited installation of malware. When you use Sandboxie to protect your browsing session, it catches all these changes just as the browser is about to apply them into your computer system. Sandboxie does record these changes on behalf of the browser, but it records them in a special isolated folder, called the sandbox. Thus, with Sandboxie, you can browse the Web securely while still keeping all your browser's functionality for active and dynamic content, such as Javascript and ActiveX. All undesired side effects, including the removal of malware, can be easily undone.
Version 3.38 has fixed Freeze/lock-up in web browsers due to a problem in Immediate Recovery and resolved problem with Microsoft Office products freezing/locking-up when opening documents in a Forced Folder.

Summary: I have Panda Global Protection 2009 installed on my computer I right clicked and scanned the install exe of Sandboxie no virus then after I installed Sandboxie I did another Anti Virus scan. This time Panda Global Protection 2009 alerted me that the... read more >>

Version: Sandboxie 3.38
Pros: Safe, light on resources, easy to use and perfect integration with major web browsers like IE, Firefox and Google Chrome. It's the perfect way to get rid of all malwares.
Cons: It's not freeware.
Summary: I fell safe when I surf the internet using Sandboxie and also when I have to start a program or file I'm not sure it's totally secure.
