“Execute programs securely”
by Elena Santos
This handy app sits between your system and the programs you run, keeping them inside an isolated portion of your hard disk: the sandbox. So if the program you're testing tries to apply any changes or harm your system in any way, it won't affect your computer, because all changes will remain inside the sandbox.
Thanks to the closed testing environment created by Sandboxie, you can freely try programs that you don't trust, without any immediate risks for your system. All files created in your sandbox remain inside it and are deleted when you close it, though the program has a special feature ('Quick Recovery') to recover them.
Sandboxie also features an extensive settings menu and is thoroughly documented, including a tutorial to get you started. You should be aware though that this is no replacement for your standard security apps, and that it may not be compatible with all the software you want to test.
Sandboxie is a handy tool to test untrustworthy software without putting your system in danger.
