Windows 2000/2003/Vista/XP / Shareware / 14,754 downloads

Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. This allows you to remove traces of your Internet or PC activities, as well as reverse any changes to your Favorites, home page, registry and more. Even files that were downloaded during a sandbox session will be wiped after the sandbox is cleared. The program runs in the system tray and if you want to start a sandboxed session, simply launch your browser, or any other program via the tray icon, rather than the regular way.

    Brilliantly conceived security software! To be perfectly honest, once properly configured, this is the only security software needed to protect one's pc.

    I test a lot of software and every once in a great while I run across a program that, for one reason or another, stands head and shoulders above the crowd. Sandboxie is one of those programs.

    Whether it is freeware, nagware or whateverware it is well worth the one time registration fee.

    Is it too much trouble for other reviewers to explain what they mean by "free" instead of just arguing pointlessly about whether Sandboxie is free or not?

    Sandboxie is free for personal (home) use. It will never expire. However, some features are not enabled unless you pay. Also, it will begin to display a nag screen after 30 days.

    To me, "trial" or "demo" is the best way to describe this software, but you can decide for yourself. Although it is annoying, you still get the basic protection feature for free, forever. And it works great.

    Both a good concept and an OK implementation - this program would be a hit if its author took a bit of time to make it look "slick" (GUI).
