Sandboxie 5.08

sandboxie

Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC.

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.

When you browse the Web, changes occur to your computer system. Some harmless, like recording the addresses of Web sites you have visited, so the browser can help you complete a Web address that you type in. Some more harmful, like the unsolicited installation of malware. When you use Sandboxie to protect your browsing session, it catches all these changes just as the browser is about to apply them into your computer system. Sandboxie does record these changes on behalf of the browser, but it records them in a special isolated folder, called the sandbox. Thus, with Sandboxie, you can browse the Web securely while still keeping all your browser's functionality for active and dynamic content, such as Javascript and ActiveX. All undesired side effects, including the removal of malware, can be easily undone.

Changes in Sandboxie 5.08:

  • Improvements to application startup. Applications start faster and Windows 10 race conditions have been fixed.
  • A problem with splwow64.exe in Win 8.1+ 64 bit has been fixed. If a user printed from inside the sandbox using a 32 bit app, printing outside the sandbox would no longer work.

  • F12 Developer Tools now works in IE-11.

  • The known conflicts list in templates.ini has been updated.
  • Fixed wrong Windows version # reported for Windows 8.1 (e.g. with https://whatsmyuseragent.com/). Windows 8.1 was reported as Windows 8.0.
