Software Description:
Sandboxie requires neither the disabling norblocking of functions available to Web sites through the browser.Instead, Sandboxie isolates and quarantines the outcome of whateverthe Web site may do to your computer, including the installation ofunsolicited software.
There is no trade-off of functionality for security: the Web sitecan use the full range of active content tools, and if it usesthese tools maliciously to install software or otherwise makechanges in your computer, then these changes can be easilyundone.
Sandboxie has originally been designed to increase the securityof browsing with Internet Explorer, however it is just as effectivewith any other browser, and in fact, any other program. Sandboxiewraps a protection layer around the programs it supervises. It isthis layer that intercepts and isolates any changes the programsmake to the computer. And this layer is impartial to the specificprogram it wraps.
Sandboxie was designed as an application that will allow you toisolate and quarantine websites.
When you browse the web, changes occur to your computer system.Most of the time these changes are harmless, like recording theaddresses of web sites you have visited (and when), so the browsercan help you complete a web address that you type in. Whether thesechanges are harmless or harmful, they do in fact happen to yourcomputer system.
When you use Sandboxie to protect your browsing session, it catchesall these changes just as the browser is about to apply them intoyour computer system. Sandboxie does record these changes on behalfof 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 toget rid of all changes done by the browser, simply by deleting thesandbox folder.
Another useful feature of Sandboxie is the ability to terminate allsandboxed programs at once. As some web sites tend to pop up threenew browser windows for each one you close, you can have Sandboxieclose all of them with a click of a button.
