Sandboxie 3.66

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.

This version is primarily a compatibility release which resolves a few recent issues:

  • Improved compatibility with Google Chrome and Firefox plugin for Firefox version 11.
  • Improved compatibility with Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer.
  • Improved compatibility with SpyShelter, Kaspersky PURE
  • Improved compatibility ASUS CapsHooks, UltraRecall, Wacom Tablet devices.
  • Files and registry keys outside the sandbox can be hidden, similar to the closed paths feature.
  • Programs in the sandbox can create new files or registry keys within the write-only locations.
  • For more information, please see Resource Access Settings.
  • Improved compatibility with Windows 7 taskbar
  • Programs in sandbox will display the sandbox name when right-clicking the task bar button.
  • Windows which belong to programs in different sandboxes will not be combined into the same task bar button.
  • A middle-click on the task bar button will start a copy of the program in the same sandbox.
