Publisher's description
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.

Version: Sandboxie 3.38
Pros: Not only does sandboxie keep viruses out, but it prevents any changes to your system by internet files. It is like having a computer within a computer and your original set up remains prestine.
Cons: Some Microsoft Office documents downloads (Word or Excel) can only be saved after the document has been closed. This is a very minor annoyance.
Summary: Since Sandboxeie prevents any viruses from entering the computer and since there are essesntially no changes made to the operating system this product keeps my computer new. Imagine that you are going to have a party and you completely recreate your... read more >>

Version: Sandboxie 3.38
"this may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
Pros: its weird i tried it but i never tested it for sure and opened a virus in it,but if wat they say its true then sandboxie kinda bullet proof ur pc from malware files to browsers i really doubt it cause it only take 7mb ram max but im gona test it soon
Cons: none soo far well ... speed bit video accelerator dont work if u use SB in web browsing which is logical cause its kinda shields firefox from any outer interference and ofcourse firefox extensions works
Summary: hmm give it a try its odd that its not popular cause if it does wat it do this may be the ultimate solution for windows xp users cause i think those gets alot of viruses plus the installer dosnt contain a trojan or a virus i scanned thro a registere... read more >>
