After the software is installed, even if the program carries viruses and Trojans, it will not cause real harm to the system. Is it similar to the movie subsystem? No, there is a big difference between them. The video subsystem protects the entire system (or the entire hard disk), while Sandboxie protects the local computer. Therefore, the local protection function of Sandboxie is more convenient for common users. After Sandboxie is installed, the icon is displayed in the taskbar. Right-click the icon and select "Open Main Window" to use it to protect the system.
I. No worries about accessing the Internet
Select "Run sandbox> IE browser". At this time, the IE browser with two [#] characters in the title bar is automatically displayed. This indicates that IE is protected. After the protection is removed, the history, together with the rogue plug-ins installed between IE and the downloaded files will disappear.
Tip: Sandboxie itself can only protect the process of the first IE browser, but it uses the Sandboxie shortcut on the desktop to protect the Internet. No matter how many IE browsers are opened, they are under protection.
Ii. Install dangerous programs
Trojans and viruses are always one step ahead of antivirus software. Therefore, when installing the program, the real-time anti-virus software does not report any viruses, and there are also some risks. However, using Sandboxie reduces the risk to zero.
Select an unidentified program to be installed or decompressed, right-click it, and select "Run with sandbox" (as shown in). The program will be installed or decompressed in the form of protection. Similarly, in the installation window of the program, two "[#]" symbols on the title bar indicate that the program is protected. I have taken protection measures when installing a trojan program. After the system is restored, it is found that all programs and Trojans installed during this period have disappeared, which is quite safe.
Select the "run with sandbox" command
3. Protect the entire computer
Sandboxie also provides protection for the entire computer. In Sandboxie, select the "function" menu and choose "Run sandbox> Windows Resource Manager ", the "my computer" window with the "[#]" symbol is automatically displayed. Then, you can perform any operations on the entire computer, including formatting and partitioning, deleting files, and copying files. The recovery method is simple. On the main interface of Sandboxie, select "configuration> Sandbox Settings> set Automatic cleanup options" to clear the content in the isolation layer.
In addition, in the latest version of Sandboxie3.0, it provides multi-user management functions and a variety of independent protection solutions.
