Sandboxie Information

Sandboxie provides a layer of security between applications and Windows. It sets up a "sandbox" for an application to run inside. If the application tries to run malware, or if it's a web browser that has downloaded something just as bad, Sandboxie should be able to keep this malicious code confined within this sandbox. Thus, the code can't mess with the normal operations of Windows, for example by changing or deleting files, hijacking your computer or locking up your personal files. Sandboxie places a shortcut on the desktop, which you can click to run your Windows computer's default browser inside this isolated mode.
