Sandboxie just saved my computer and my wallet

1 replies
I am constantly searching the internet looking for artists to create artwork for my shirts. I use all kinds of virus software but in the last 1 1/2 years I have still picked up 2 viruses that really messed up my computer. The last time was in February when I picked up a virus that messed up my registry and cost me $150 (and 3 days at the shop) to get it fixed.

I remember Kim Komando talking about a program called Sandboxie that sets up a virtual hard drive on your computer. Everything downloaded while you surf is stored in the "sandbox" which you can delete at any time.

I was just searching again for an artist for a new line of shirts when I get the "Your computer is infected, click here to repair" popup in my task tray. My heart skipped a beat because that is the exact same thing that happened the last 2 times. Luckily, also in the tray was my Sandboxie icon. I just clicked on the SB icon and deleted the contents and the virus immediately disappeared. You can not imagine the relief.

I am not an affiliate or anything, just a very satisfied and happy customer. You should check it out at Sandboxie - Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing. It was the free trial that just saved me. I just bought a 1 year license after finding an online coupon to get it for just $9.99.

    At the very least, I believe Sandboxie is a must for anyone that does a lot of submitting, such as using programs like Bookmarking Demon, Scrapebox, Article Marketing Robot, etc.

    Not only do these programs visit a lot of sites, the sites they visit are prone to being hacked.

    Even better than Sandboxie is VMware, but I wouldn't use any submission software without at least one of them...And, anti-virus software just isn't enough IMO.

    And they are both FREE.
