Sandboxie - surf the
net, don't worry about being hijacked |
I really like the looks of this program. I
can't use it because I don't have WinXP yet. I emailed Brandon Watts and he says
he'll definately take a look at it, so he may end up reviewing it for
Lockergnome's Windows Fanatic newletter.

Sandboxie lets you browse the web
without leaving traces on your computer.
How Sandboxie Benefits You
When you browse the web, changes occur to
your computer system. Most of the time these changes are harmless, like
recording the addresses of web sites you have visited (and when), so
Internet Explorer can help you complete a web address that you type in.
Wheather these changes are harmless or harmful, they do in fact happen to
your computer system.
When you use Sandboxie to protect your
browsing session, it catches all these changes just as Internet Explorer
is about to apply them into your computer system. Sandboxie does record
these changes on behalf of Internet Explorer, but it records them in a
special isolated folder, called the sandbox.
The benefit of having a sandbox is that it
ensures your ability to get rid of all changes done by Internet Explorer,
simply by deleting the sandbox folder. |
