Sandboxie : Isolating programs

Sandboxie : Isolating programs

I have recently installed this program in my pc. It provides a virtual environment that isolates programs from the rest of your computer. Found this to be quite useful as it helps me with a few things:

• Protect my pc while running unreliable softwares (eg. exe.). This is extremely useful if you need to open a file (but suspects it could be infected with virus). You can run the program in Sandboxie mode to prevent any permanent registry damages.Once you no longer need the file or suspected software, you can easily delete them without fear of changes in your other programs, registry, or data.

• Running browser safely. You can actually surf the net under Sandboxie supervision (think of double security!!!).This program does not clash with existing antivirus progam in your computer, unlike others( eg. you cant run norton with malwarebytes). Not only that, any malicious software that you accidentally download is automatically trapped into the Sandboxie system, giving it no opportunity to run amok and disable your antivirus /pc system. Feeling like removing the malware or virus? Just click-"Delete Content" and they are gone. No post removal traces of the virus like messed up registry and such.

• It is basically free.You will be given 30 days of  trials after which you can still continue to use it should you choose not to buy the program. The only hindrance is that whenever you start web browsing with Sandboxie, you will have to wait for (a mere) 5 seconds before the Sandboxie is launched. Hence it is basically free!
