Free or not, this is HANDS DOWN one of the most useful utilities ever written for people like me who like to see WHAT is being installed to a system. I just have two MINOR gripes with the program 1) It's not portable (saves settings to C:\Windows! boooo!!) 2) Seeing what reg entries were written is somewhat difficult (must upload reghive to registry via registry workshop [another excellent program] and then via, and then detach hive. Very, very tedious.

@radiomaffia : rate the software on what it does, not on a so-called "freeware" status. Have a look at the homepage and please read : "You may use Sandboxie free of charge for any length of time that you desire. However, if you use Sandboxie for more than 30 days, the software will occasionally remind you to consider paying the registration fee. By doing that, you would show your support for further development and improvement of Sandboxie."

This IS NOT a FREEWARE. A freeware is something You can use for free forever !!!

I wouldnt say this program is perfect, i dont like the interface and the overall ease of use is pretty weak, BUT it works and i havent really seen anything that works better than this yet. So its a solid 4

It works and works well although its entirely useless for me now as the author no longer maintains an x64 version. If he would bring back the x64 version I would gladly give this the full 5 rating.

I've been using Sandboxie for over 2 years and it works great. It is freeware but like many free programs they ask for a donation. If you pay the one time lifetime registration fee you get a few extras and the nag screen that pops up when you start the program is removed. I bought Sandboxie 6 months ago,not for the extra stuff,but because the program works so good.I felt they deserved some money. Plus I would not want to lose this program. Which happens sometimes with free programs.

Fair enough the program does ask you to buy it at some points, but this program is really really good. I'll never pay for any software, ever, but if I did, this would be one of they lucky programs. It's worth any amount they ask for within reason and is good for secure application testing. Worth the download.

When you uninstall this program the uninstaller will restart your computer without warning. How annoying when you loose your work because of that.

Xenoris:"I'll never pay for any software, ever" Good to know there still are some morons around. They make the world turn I guess. Great proggy. Not the best, but still pretty nice AND it does what it does for free.

This is hands down the best security software out there. You can run suspicious programs in a sandboxed environment with little to zero risk to your general computer.

Is it too much trouble for other reviewers to explain what they mean by "free" instead of just arguing pointlessly about whether Sandboxie is free or not? Sandboxie is free for personal (home) use. It will never expire. However, some features are not enabled unless you pay. Also, it will begin to display a nag screen after 30 days. To me, "trial" or "demo" is the best way to describe this software, but you can decide for yourself. Although it is annoying, you still get the basic protection feature for free, forever. And it works great.

Both a good concept and an OK implementation - this program would be a hit if its author took a bit of time to make it look "slick" (GUI).

I test a lot of software and every once in a great while I run across a program that, for one reason or another, stands head and shoulders above the crowd. Sandboxie is one of those programs. Whether it is freeware, nagware or whateverware it is well worth the one time registration fee.

It don't let out anything you don't want it to.It like a force field.If you download something you try it in the sandbox 1st then see if it is bad or good.If bad you can terminate & delete it from exsistance . It does leek alittle but that why you need a good hips app to go with it.If you don't mind paying then defensewall hips but if you don't COMODO firewall or Avera antivirus is good too. Use with hips your clean.If you download something don't recover it till you load it in the sandboxie to see if it a clean .exe.Then if its good recover it then load to system.But if bad then terminate it,& delete it from sandbox.If you don't no how it got a guy that made a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GueXMq-Vyi8&feature=channel_page ,& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IbwhE-r8_k&feature=related ,& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBbC81bZx4&feature=related .This will help for all the computer illiterate people out there
