For those who don’t know yet, get acquainted: Sandboxie is a unique program that allows you to run anything in the so-called “sandbox”, a limited environment, thanks to which the files, folders and programs launched will not have any impact on the real system.
All changes will be redirected through its own special driver to a virtual environment that emulates the real OS. After which this sandbox can be saved for research or deleted without consequences for your working OS. You can read more about this wonderful program and download it below.
Since the program appeared in 2004, so much has been written about it that there is no point in repeating it. With its help, you can quickly remove any changes in the OS, for example, those related to Internet activity (changes to bookmarks, home page, registry, etc.). In addition, if any files were loaded inside the sandbox session, they will be deleted when it is cleaned (you can also leave them for research).
Sandoxie is very popular among those who research various new programs, want to surf the Internet safely, and researchers of various “malware” (it’s not without reason that most AV products have built-in analogues of the Sandboxie “sandbox” that use the same principle). And in general, it can be useful to anyone because of its speed and reliability. For example, if you wanted to try a new program or open an unknown office document or file from the Internet, Sandboxie will help you with this, keeping the registry and file system clean. Or if you want to browse porn sites: fellow:, or unknown warez sites\forums\social networks\blogs (where you can “catch” winlocker or other “malware” in no time) - the program will protect your browser and OS.
Sandboxie works from the system tray; to activate it, just launch your browser or any other necessary program through the icon located in the tray; you can also safely view folders. The default settings, in principle, are quite optimal, the only thing is that on the file transfer settings tab you can specify not 48 MB, as it is set, but specify your size, for example, 4-10 GB, then you can safely try large programs, such as Photoshop and like him. About activation: everything works on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, without “dancing with a tambourine” around signing drivers and test mode (dude Nael, or, as he appears, “Ghost of Iraq” worked his “pill” quite well, for which thanks and respect to him). The process was described in detail in the archive with the program, both “tablets” under a password, which is the name of our site, so that some ABs do not “be smart”). Everything has been tested on Windows 8.1 OS of both bit levels, everything works. In general, the program is a must have, download and use it. ...and may safety be with you :)
