Breakthrough in Spyware/Malware Control
The war against spyware is intensifying. Spyware has become much worse and has
been recently gaining the upper hand. But now there is a new battle tactic ...
Introducing ...
"Sandboxie" is a
freeware
utility that lets you run your browser in 'virtual sandbox.' Any spyware,
trojans, keyloggers or other malware that is downloaded or installed while
surfing the web can only access your sandbox but not the rest of your computer
or operating system.
It's remarkably simple to use. To start a 'Sandboxed' browsing session just
click the Sandboxie icon from the Quick Launch tray and this will launch your
default browser in a sandbox. Then you can access any site you wish or download
files in the normal way.
Sandboxie in Action
Spywarecleaner.org is actually a site that installs spyware on your computer --
so don't go there unless you put it in a sandbox!
When your done, right click the Sandboxie icon and select 'Delete contents of
Sandbox.' Your computer will be returned to the exact state it was in before
the browsing session.
If you want to recover files that were downloaded during your browsing session
just right click the icon in the task tray and select 'Recover Files from
Sandbox.'
Sandboxie is free for non-commercial use and can be downloaded here

Sandboxie has been extensively tested by independent 3rd parties and has
provided protection from some of the worst the web has to offer. Check out the
