Note: Sandboxie was acquired by Invincea in 2013. Today, it is one of the best - many say the best - sandboxing solution for Windows. Sandboxie has been around for years, and its developer Ronen Tzur has added new features regularly to the program in that time. Software that is run in the sandbox is isolated from the system which makes it ideal for testing purposes, and to improve the overall security of the system by running applications that are often targeted by malware developers in the sandbox.

A sandbox separates programs run in it from the underlying operating system and other software or data, effectively preventing those programs from making permanent changes to the system.Įven malicious software is restrained to the sandbox which means that it cannot infect the operating system itself and that all traces of it will be removed from the system once the sandbox is terminated.

Sandboxie is a program for Windows that puts applications on the operating system in a sandbox to improve security.
