When you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the progam to the hard disk via write operations.

For example, if you run the Freecell program to play a game, it starts by reading the previously recorded statistics, displaying and altering them as you play the game, and finally writing them back to disk for future reference.

Sandboxie changes the rules such that write operations do not make it back to your hard disk.

Data flows in both directions between programs and the sandbox. During read operations, data may flow from the hard disk into the sandbox. But data never flows back from the sandbox into the hard disk.

DOWNLOAD LINK (v3.02) (http://www.sandboxie.com/attic/SandboxieInstall-302.exe)

useful for safe web browsing and testing new software... when you're done, just delete the sandbox and it'll be as if nothing had happened :biggrin:
i have heard the latest version 3.28 has compatibility problems with some programs so i have also linked to v3.02 that's deemed the "most compatible" and the one i use myself :wink:

@ zat: yes, it is very useful to test new programs. i used to install and run all kinds of stuff directly (in my old windows setup) until i heard about this application... that's how my NTUSER.DAT filesize was near 10MB and it took like five minutes for Win to boot into an useable state :biggrin:

False positive: it needs to install a driver and service in order to work.
