So, I decided to try Sandboxie, and nearly 11 years later, I am still using it.
Sandboxie doesn’t allow drivers or services to be installed in the sandbox. Later, while searching for protection against rootkits, my travels led me directly to Sandboxie. One of those technologies was sandboxing. During cleanup, I learned a lot about security and came to realize that there were better technologies available to protect our computers than anti viruses/scanners. I took the approach of cleaning the infection as a challenge, and had fun doing it. Until that day, whenever I got infected, I always had somebody clean up the infection. So, how did I become a Sandboxie user? One day late in 2008 during a browsing session, I was hit by malware (a rootkit). I haven’t had an infection since the day I became a Sandboxie user.
After I became a Sandboxie user, infections went away completely. I thought, “If I am going to use the internet, I am going to get infected and there’s nothing I can do about it.” The effect of using Sandboxie has been huge on the quality of my computing experience. Before I started using Sandboxie, I used to get malware infections once or twice a year, and simply accepted those infections. I’ll start this article on Sandboxie with a few words on how I became a Sandboxie user.
