RE: request for info/thoughts on 'Sandboxie'
i know that hackers/crackers use them to test worms/viruses/etc. and i think whats that Microsoft used with Vista too. ive only heard a bit about them though.
its takes out a certian amont of memory and hard disk space and creates an environment that is only connected to the rest of the computer by reading from it, but i cant write to it.
you run a program in it and it carries out whatever you wanted it to and logs everything that happens. and best bit is if something goes wrong, you get rid of everything, and start a new sandbox! it also stops anything being written to the hard drive, and writes it into the sandbox so there's no chance of anything harmful being installed in your hard drive. its good for browsing, just run firefox/P2P programs in it and any viruses that may be downloaded goes into the sandbox instead.
