Sandboxie has originally been designed to increase the security of browsing with Internet Explorer, however it is just as effective with any other browser, and in fact, any other program. There is no trade-off of functionality for security: the Web site can use the full range of active content tools, and if it uses these tools maliciously to install software or otherwise make changes in your computer, then these changes can be easily undone.

Instead, Sandboxie isolates and quarantines the outcome of whatever the Web site may do to your computer, including the installation of unsolicited software.

All undesired side effects, including the removal of malware, can be easily undone.Sandboxie requires neither the disabling nor blocking of functions available to Web sites through the browser. 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. Sandboxie does record these changes on behalf of the browser, but it records them in a special isolated folder, called the sandbox. 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. Some more harmful, like the unsolicited installation of malware. 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. When you browse the Web, changes occur to your computer system. 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. Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC.
