Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can’t break out of the sandbox and can’t infect your real system.Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don’t leak into Windows.Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.Whatever, I hope what follows will help clarify and maybe encourage more users to take advantage of this terrific software.

Perhaps it can be put down to a certain mystique surrounding sandboxing and virtual environment techniques in general. I don’t quite understand why that is the case Sandboxie is simple, very easy to use, very effective and free. Sandboxie is also quite well known yet, in my experience, substantially under-utilized. Both Avast and WinPatrol are very well known, WinPatrol in particular enjoys legendary status. These three products have stood me in good stead for a number of years, I can’t even remember the last time one of my machines was infected. I employ such a strategy myself, albeit in a fairly basic form Avast Free, WinPatrol and Sandboxie. Much has been written about PC security and how it can be enhanced per medium of adopting a layered approach, which generally means installing different types of products to help cover a wider scope of eventualities.
