toyo Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 When you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the progam to the hard disk via write operations. Sandboxie changes the rules such that write operations do not make it back to your hard disk. Intercept changes to both your files and registry settings, making it virtually impossible for any software to reach outside the sandbox.Traps cached browser items into the sandbox as a by-product of normal operation, so when you throw away the sandbox, all the history records and other side-effects of your browsing disappear as well.Screenshot:DownloadHomepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVoice Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 This sounds very interesting. Is this fairly easy to use? How much of a learning curve is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted November 29, 2007 Administrator Share Posted November 29, 2007 Very little.Just remember everything you run in the sandbox will not be saved on your "normal" drive space, rather the "sandboxed" space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeyhootie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I haven't tried this version, but found the old version would not allow me to run TrueCrypt within the sandbox.There was also supposed to be a way to allow bookmarks to bypass the sandbox and be written to the real bookmark location. That way, you wouldn't lose your bookmarks when the sandbox was closed. That never worked for me.Maybe the new version fixes this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
