Spent too many hours removing unsolicited software?
Worried about clicking unfamiliar Web links?
Introducing Sandboxie: Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox
- Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
- Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don’t leak into Windows.
- Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can’t break out of the sandbox and can’t infect your real system.
- Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.
System Requirements:
- Operating System: Windows All Version
- Language: English-US
- License: Freeware
- Author: Sandboxie
Changelog:
- On Windows 7 when Aero is enabled, the Sandboxie border rectangle wraps around the Aero border rather than be on top of it.
- The border should hopefully follow the window more closely during a window resize/move operation.
- The border goes invisible if any part of it would be obscured by a window that is "always on top".
- Sandbox Settings > Appearance offers new option to display the border only when the mouse is in the window title area.
- When a new sandbox is created, the default is now to have a yellow border that appears when the mouse is in the title area.
- Includes a note that explains that programs will continue to run under Sandboxie even with administrator privileges.
- Window can be moved or minimized.
- If you click cancel, the elevation attempt is aborted without a follow-up second (or even a third) elevation prompt that you would also have to cancel.
- When Drop Rights is in effect and message SBIE2219 is issued, you also see a new message SBIE2220 which offers an easy way to turn off the Drop Rights setting.
- some Sandboxie Control dialog boxes can now be minimized. Applies to the dialog boxes: Sandbox Settings, Delete Contents, Quick Recovery, Immediate Recovery, Messages from Sandboxie. These dialog boxes will also have a button (or icon) in the taskbar.
- Additionally, when the Quick Recovery dialog box appears automatically for a sandbox (and obviously, thte auto-delete setting is enabled), the taskbar button/icon will flash until the window gets attention.
