What Is Sandboxie?

Sandboxie is basicly what it sounds like; A sandbox for your applciations. Sandboxie basicly allocates a piece of your system and seperates it from the rest of your computer. By doing this, you can be browsing the interenet and checking email, without worrying about dangerous attachments or infections getting onto your system. If you do happen to get somthing bad, you can simply wipe your sandbox and restart, keeping your main system completely safe. The image below shows this idea in a more graphical manner.

What's This Sandbox Cost Me?

Sandboxie is only €22 Euros or around $35. There is also a free trial which has a nag screen after the trial is up. This licence is a lifetime one as well, so no addtional cost needed. This software is great for anyone who either is concerned about their computer security (which should be everyone!) or is great for people who don't know a lot about computers, and are at risk because of it.

It is defently worth a try, setup is not terribly hard, and they have a good tutorial on their website. But once you get the program running, you will be very safe even if you happen to do somthing which is not so safe!

Try Sandboxie out, and let me know what you think!
