Sandboxie - 100% Safe Surfing

In normal day to day surfing you collect a lot of junk files which reside in your temp folders: History, Cookies, MRU streams etc. You can use programs to clear this junk out after surfing, but what about a program that does not even download any of this?

does it slow it down the internet?

like ebay you wanna place bid on the last second!

[cotojo1253]

@zzzlt - No it does not slow down browsing but it can cause a delay in loading the browser into the sandbox :-)

is the voice on this video a computer generated voice?

[cotojo1253]

@upcycle - NO it is NOT a computer generated voice!

from the Sandboxie site "The 64-bit edition of Sandboxie is somewhat "DISADVANTAGED IN TERMS OF SECURITY" compared to the 32-bit edition of Sandboxie. The disadvantage is a result of a component present in all versions of 64-bit Windows called Kernel Patch Protection, (capslock added by me for easy reference)somewhat a shame if your running a 64bit pc sandboxie installs automatically & configure your AV at set up it can have access to the stuff in the box even though the AV is outside the "Box"

[cotojo1253]

@paulspydar - When the video was made there was no 64bit support and now that there is the whole setup has changed and something that needs to be covered again. As with any program, it is down to the end user to be cautious when downloading and recovering. I download all kinds of malware, rootkist, password stealers, backdoor bots etc and have had nothing escape from the sandbox to date :-)

If you open a program such as IMVU or Firefox that's already installed in your pc before getting Sandboxie and you open it the program stays in your pc?

[eminentjonfrost]

Great review.Also a great program.The only question is,how does the average user know the good items from the bad ones?Is there a way to know?Or a way to tell which items are suspect or malware when downloading.

Very Good Video. I installed the program and it works really well. Does not slow the internet. It uses a trivial amount of resources especially when compared to Anti Virus Programs. I had MSE previously and it used 100MB of ram plus required a daily update. I never make comments on websites unless I truly like something, so Sandboxie is the real deal. Very simple to set up. Another benefit is all history is deleted so Programs like CCleaner dont have to be used.

[stiehlreddog]

great program review,but unless your really good at computers.How can you tell which downloads are not good?

[twosquirrelly]

@EagleDestiny when I dl a torrent, I run it sandboxed to see if it is hiding a virus.

The other day, a WMV file asked me to download the correct codec in order to play the file -wmv?!- which obviously I had. At this point I was already infected (which is no big deal) I just opened my sandbox control, and deleted the contents and I was clean.

The malware never made it to my real hard drive.

I never open my browser or read e-mail or run unsigned programs un-sandboxed.

[twosquirrelly]

@EagleDestiny no, there's no reason to run an anti-mal/virus program inside the sandbox.

If you are surfing the interweb and you pick up a drive by virus/malware you will either know it right away or it might be a file that is set to auto-run when you boot up the computer. But since you are running it in a sandbox, it will never actually be able to highjack your start up, because you delete the contents of the sandbox, thereby deleting any hidden malware.

@zzzlt Do you understand how clocks work? You can't slow down your wrist watch to make it to work on time. YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT A TIME MACHINE! Don't be retarded.
