Sandboxie

The Sandboxie sound really useful. . . but i dont know how to use it and what it for. . .
I hope someone will explain it to me. . .

Lets pretend you download a software, lets pretend, you think it's infected. You just open it sandboxed with sandboxie, so the software doesn't harm your system.

Not too hard to use it.

Its for testing unknown or suspicious applications. Right click a file and choose "Run Sandboxed" to run a file in sandboxie. Sandboxie opens the applications in a "Box" so that it doesn't affect your computer. Whatever files that are binded or other malicious activities are performed by the file, are done in the in the sandbox without affecting the computer and you get a report of it. However it can be bypassed and you can still get infected. Best thing is to use a Virtual Machine and test such strange applications there.

so.. do i need to put the file/folder that i want to sandboxed in the directory of the sandbox in local disk C and then open the sandboxie, and click run sandboxed?

u just need to right click on that app u wat to run.
right clik and see option run sandboxed clik on it and all.
