Sandboxie

Sandboxie allows you to run your programs in a sandbox to check it out. This can be great if you don't trust a download.




The red arrows indicate changes flowing from a running program into your computer. The box labeled Hard disk (no sandbox) shows changes by a program running normally. The box labeled Hard disk (with sandbox) shows changes by a program running under Sandboxie. The animation illustrates that Sandboxie is able to intercept the changes and isolate them within a sandbox, depicted as a yellow rectangle. It also illustrates that grouping the changes together makes it easy to delete all of them at once.

Benefits of Sandboxie

• Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
  
• Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
  
• Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
  
• Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.

I put the guide/review/download/help thing together. You can just run the other program in sandboxie too if you want.

Cool but I dont think I need it although it looks like a useful program for people that are clueless about what they are downloading .

Yea I use Sandboxie to test programs that I think are infected.
Def recommend if you want to do the same.

Viruses can still get into the sandbox area its not entirely trustworthy.

The sandbox is really something everyone should have. I use it daily.

I should say, always update to the newest version if you use it to test out suspicious files.
Programmers that write crypters to encrypt trojans always find new ways to surpass the sandbox.

What? You keep the virus in the sandbox not out.

I think you would be better off with VirtualBox by Sun.
