What is Sandboxie???
Generally, if you are visiting hacking
forums or various forums of free software downloads, some of these free
downloads are affected or are attached viruses and trojans for
malicious purposes. So, if victim installs them on his computer, the
malicious scripts get installed on computer causing various problems
depending on script. So, the better way is to install such applications
on your PC but using Sandboxie.
Sandboxie will allow you to run
your software downloads in a sandbox (in a separate memory area) to
check whether or not they're what you were expecting. This can be great
if you don't trust a download or freeware.
The red arrows indicate changes flowing from a running application program into your computer. The box labeled Hard disk (no sandbox) shows changes by a program running normally. The box labeled Hard disk (with sandbox)
shows changes by a program running under Sandboxie. The animation
illustrates that Sandboxie is able to intercept the changes and isolate
them within a sandbox depicted as a yellow rectangle.
It also illustrates that grouping the changes together makes it easy to
delete all of them at once.
