SANDBOXIE

SANDBOXIE

Tired of dealing with rogue software, spyware and malware? Worried about clicking unfamiliar Web links? One of the best FREE Programs I’ve found is Sandboxie, which runs your Programs in an isolated space, thus preventing them from making permanent changes to other Programs and data in your computer. It is fairly small, with a size of only 904 KB. It is Licensed as Freeware. It will run on Win XP/2003/08/Vista/Windows7. As of this writing, 9-13-11, it has been downloaded 2,767 times from MajorGeeks.com! It is also available from the author’s website (Google “Sandboxie” to find it, or go to your favorite RELIABLE AND TRUSTY FREEware site).
 
Sandboxie requires neither the disabling nor blocking of functions available to Web sites through the browser. Instead, Sandboxie isolates and quarantines the outcome of whatever the Web site may do to your computer, including the installation of unsolicited software. There is no trade-off of functionality for security: the Web site can use the full range of active content tools, and if it uses these tools maliciously to install software or otherwise make changes in your computer, then these changes can be easily undone.

Sandboxie has originally been designed to increase the security of browsing with Internet Explorer; however it is just as effective with any other browser, and in fact, any other Program. Sandboxie wraps a protection layer around the Programs it supervises. It is this layer that intercepts and isolates any changes the Programs make to your computer. And this layer is impartial to the specific Program it wraps.

Sandboxie is a software that allows you to isolate and quarantine websites. When you browse the web, changes occur to your computer system. Most of the time these changes are harmless, like recording the addresses of web sites you have visited (and when), so the browser can help you complete a web address that you type in. Whether these changes are harmless or harmful, they do in fact happen to your computer system.

When you use Sandboxie to protect your browsing session, it catches all these changes just as the browser is about to apply them into your computer system. Sandboxie does record these changes on behalf of the browser, but it records them in a special isolated folder, called the sandbox.

The benefit of having a sandbox is that it ensures your ability to get rid of all changes done by the browser, simply by deleting the sandbox folder.

Another useful feature of Sandboxie is the ability to terminate all sandboxed Programs at once. As some web sites tend to pop up three new browser windows for each one you close, you can have Sandboxie close all of them with a click of a button.

You may use Sandboxie free of charge for any length of time that you desire. However, if you use Sandboxie for more than 30 days, the software will occasionally remind you to consider paying a registration fee. By doing that, you would show your support for further development and improvement of Sandboxie.

By paying the registration fee of $20 (U. S. Dollars) you get a life-time registration key to this and and all upcoming versions of the Sandboxie product.

I have been using this Program only a very short time, and already I can see many benefits of it. Even for $20, it would be a good investment, as I’ve spent far more than that on an anti-virus Program in the past, for just one year’s coverage; then at the end of the year, it had the audacity to pop up a request for a Renewal Fee of the same amount as I originally paid for it. With Sandboxie, this won’t happen!

I, too, have become tired of CONSTANTLY having to remember to monitor for malware (badware), as I don’t like for Programs to run automatically because MANY of them (especially Microsoft Programs) want a re-boot, causing me to lose my place. What’s even more annoying is to get up to go to the bathroom or go get something to eat or drink, and come back to find that my computer has automatically rebooted itself, thus losing all the work I had going, and necessitating my finding which Programs I had running! This is one reason I have Microsoft’s Automatic Updates configured to ask me when I want them installed, so they won’t install AND REBOOT automatically! I may miss something for a while, but to me, it’s better than having the machine tell me what to do. After all, folks, WE’RE the ones that are in charge! Aren’t we? NOT THE MACHINES! At least that’s what I was told! Don’t let the machine(s) tell you what to do, especially when you can configure something and TELL THE MACHINE what to do!

Anyway, try Sandboxie for FREE! I think you’ll be glad you did, and you can forget having to spend more $$$ for anti-virus and anti-malware Programs!
