Sandbox

an exelent free prog, worth a look


if you use Windows 2000 or later my top recommendation for safe browsing is a free program called Sandboxie that creates a special contained "sandbox" environment on your PC. While browsing within the virtual sandbox provided by Sandboxie you are totally corralled off from other parts of your PC. So any files you download are isolated to the sandbox. Similarly, any programs that are executed only do so within the sandbox and have no access to your normal files, the Windows operating system or any other part of your PC.

Usage is remarkably simple. To start a sandboxed browsing session you just click the Sandboxie icon from the Quick Launch tray and this will launch your default browser in the sandbox. You can then use it in the normal way to browse to sites or download files.

If you downloaded a file it will install normally but again will be corralled off from your real PC. Anything it writes to your hard drive, any changes to the Windows Registry or changes to the Windows startup will be held in a separate area within the sandbox. Similarly, any new processes running in your computer memory will be sandboxed.

After you have finished browsing you can right click the Sandboxie icon and delete all sandboxed files and processes and your PC will be returned to the same state it was in before the browsing session. If you want retain particular downloaded files you can save them permanently before clearing the contents of the Sandbox.

The advantage is clear: any spyware, trojans, keyloggers or other malware products that infected your PC while browsing will be eliminated.

you can install programes in the sandbox, if the programe isnt what you wanted just simply delet the sandbox, nothing is written to you hard drive.

Used it; adviced it and thrown it away with a warning to all !
It looks dmnd nice and the way it says it works looks swell.
Only drawback with sandboxie you also got spyware

I had it installed untill I had my machine checked by a guy who is working as a troubleshooter at a big internet firm here in Holland; he is specialized in internet/pc-security.
I won`t recall the names he called me when he found out I installed that. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

As it seems the proggie uses open ports to report your doing.
After install I`ve seen an increase of spam, as I have a fixed IP-adres...even after uninstall and format....me fooked.

Yes it looks nice, yes it can help you.....but you pay a prize; so watch out m8s !

thx for the heads up m8, but ive searched hi and lo and i cant find a single post anywhere that sugest's that this prog comes with anything nasty.
if there was spy/ scum ware with this there would be plenty of prople shoutin about it, i cant find anything bud.
