Thumbs up No Spyware - Ever again!

I have been using a great application for a while now. I guess I initially wanted to see if it did what it says it can do.

Sandboxie - Front Page is quite simply fantastic. Sure, there's loads of science behind how and why your PC picks up nasties from the 'net and you can read about them on the website, but what you really need to know is...does it work?

I tested it thoroughly, I went to dark and seedy places on the 'net that I haven't been to before..trying to expose my browser to as much malware and spyware as I could. After a couple of days of this I ran my usual suite of Anti-Spy tools and guess what? Not one thing, nothing, nada, zip...I wasn't infected.

Why am I telling you this? Well, it's certainly not for financial gain..the product is FREE! I just want you to enjoy the same grime free existance on-line as I now do.

Go to the site and read all about this amazing application. If you you use it, let us know...if you like it let us know.

Trying it now... seems ok, doesnt slow web browsing or anything else down, easy to run apps in sandbox, just right click the shortcut for the app and run sandboxed

Excellent find Hengis

I have has a play around with Sandboxie, mainly to see how good the browser fuction is at my suspect website list.

It traps the nasties nicely...

It should have no effect on your anti malware applications, as it does not interfere with my apps...
