Hi Guys,
Would Sandboxie protect me from lets say a dropper or trojan type program, if I were to execute it?
Just like running questionable software in a VM for protection, can Sandboxie provide similar protection?
The Sandboxie website leans a bit to web surfing and possible nasties that can be obtained by surfing to questionable sites. But how good is it if for example I run a keygen or "crack" which may have a byproduct of dropping an unwanted .exe in the reg "run" key or maybe even worse replace a system file with it's own evil offspring.
