Good points.
Releasing code to open source is actually a good thing. It let's anyone see what's in the code - people see if there's something wrong so it can be fixed, see if something has been added that shouldn't be there, and can make suggestions for additions.
Lots of eyes on the code is a good thing. The other thing that's good is that anyone with the skills can improve the program and add features.
There are some good programs that create a virtual machine in your computer (Virtual Box comes to mind), one of the differences between Sandboxie and a virtual machine is that Sandboxie has an option that allows you to keep some aspects of the Sandbox session. If you download a program and opt to keep it, it will still be there when you close Sandboxie.
Virtual machine programs don't, as far as I know, retain any changes from any session - if you download a program I believe it disappears. I haven't used one for a while so I'm not 100% sure about that, I'm going on past experience.

Something To Be AWARE Of -
Some years ago when Tzuk still owned it, (before Sophos ended up with it) there were (a few) Malicious Code Writers that figured out how to have their M S/W look for the indications that they were in a sandbox.. The germs would then lay low/remain doormat until the user (thinking the s/w was clean) would then install it into their system. Thankfully not every germ writer knew how to do this and Tzuk was able to change something (in his code?) that made it harder or impossible for the germs to tell when they were in a virtual environment.
Sophos announced that they were going to release the [Source Code] to the project when they announced there were no more paid versions the other day.
I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but won't this make it easier for Malicious Cogwaddlers to defeat the program?
There used to be a couple of standalone programs that created temporary virtual environments, StorageCraft also had one as did Acronis True Image ("Try It and Decide" or something) but were abandoned because of the
difficulty in not letting the Malware know they were in a sandbox.
Except Sandboxie.
Seems like that could change if the code is released.
I LOVE somafm! I've been a faithful listener for years now. I have LUSH installed through my AVR/Tune-in radio so I can listen all day long to this incredibly smooth & catchy station.
PS: Somafm is entirely listener supported. It's so fantastic to hear great music w/no commercials to ruin the vibe.

I hadn't thought of it being like Ghostery. You can disable protection for individual sites in Malwarebytes - there's the option to turn off any or all of these options on individual sites: disable ads/trackers, malware, scams, and PUP's (potentially unwanted programs).
NoScript is currently at the Firefox add-on page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/
If I can't get an add-on to install, I right click on it, save as .xpi, download, and drag and drop it on the extension page or use the Install Add-on from File option.
I have felt safest when using FF with NoScript. I have been using that for years.
I still can, because FF has stopped updating it's versions for those of us using XP
NoScript is no longer available in the later versions of FF.
For my XP browsing, it is lucky that FF insists that I have to use that earlier FF version (which NoScript still works in)
I use W10 occasionally, so I would be interested in knowing how I can have java script disabling like NoScript used to do.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
That is, as always, up to you.
You can go the Firefox add-ons page and view the privacy policy of any add-on.
As far as I know, most Chrome exensions have no listed privacy policy, it's probably available on the developers site.
Sounds like MB is trying to add Ghostery features. Love Ghostery because I can allow specific advertising sires on just one or two single survey sites. Surveys are many times put out by advertisers and if I cannot allow them on whichever survey I am doing I lose points and/or cut down the number of surveys I am shown. In other words, I cannot have a blanket shutdown of these ads/adware etc I will not be able to do most surveys. Ghostery allows the ad sites on my surveys without allowing all the ads everywhere else. Think I'll keep my Ghostery as it works with AdGuard perfectly. Thanx rhiannon.

I guess you didn't know, there has always been a free version available. When Tzuk owned it from 2004 to Dec 2016, he had the Pro version for sale and if after 30 days you didn't activate it you lost a few functionalities ie ... only the default sandbox, (no additional sandboxes) no Forced Programs and a nag screen for 10 seconds and you had to wait for the ten seconds before starting a program in a sandbox.
Even when Invincea bought it and then got bought up by Sophos in Feb of 2017 and started selling a paid Home version and a paid Commercial version you could download the home version and after 30 days you lost the few functionalities unless you already had the free version installed, then it went straight to the limited version.
I've been using the free version all along until today when I read your article (Thanks for that by the way) and D/L 5.34 x64.
If you use the Wayback Machine you can still download versions back to 3.76.
Some guy turned me on to this back in 04/05, I believe his name was Ian Richards. I was really grateful. This was the best thing I'd seen since sliced bread hit the table.
With Buster Sandbox Analyzer you can watch the scumware you catch in your Sandboxie sandbox.
No confusion here. You do a great job, rhiannon.
Thanks for the Windows sandbox info. This is the first I've heard of it being possible in the Home edition. Will definitely try it out.
My one issue was enabling Virtualization in the UEFI. Finally found the setting on one of my computers but still can't find it on the other.
Came across this tip: You can see if Virtualization is enabled by checking the Task Manager Performance tab (lower right side).
I didn't experience a slowdown in any browsers (or additional speed) but the display issues, blocking too many legitimate sites and getting caught in a loop trying to whitelist sites added it to the "not right now maybe later" category. :)
Correct, it's not available by default in the Home version but it can be enabled. I've added a link with directions, and a search for Enable Windows Sandbox Windows 10 Home will bring up other sites with similar instructions.
Thanks for all the comments, I don't mind anything off being pointed out or being corrected when I'm off base.
I edited the article to make it clearer that Windows Sandbox is an alternative and included a link to enable it for Windows 10 Home Edition.
I'm sorry for any confusion, my aim is to always provide as many options and as much information as I can to everyone. I occasionally fail or don't do it well and I appreciate the input when I don't.
For me the experience with Chrome has been slower instead of faster plus I keep getting this so I'll pass for now until they get it fixed. MC - Site Manager. https://i.imgur.com/JCwYy1E.png
Please understand that Windows Sandbox is not being talked here. The article is about the software Sandboxie. As such, Windows Sandbox is out of topic for this article.
It's true that one of the requirements of Windows Sandbox for Windows 10 are that it should run on Windows Pro (or Enterprise). The other requirements can be seen here:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-windows-sandbox-windows-10-may-2019-update#requirements_windows_sandbox_windows10_1903
Hmmmm, I'm not seeing anywhere in the article where I stated Sandboxie is for Windows Pro users only. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The article lists exactly what operating systems Sandboxie runs on, here they are again in case there are questions:
Sandboxie works on
Windows XP SP3 (Up until Sandboxie 5.22 )
Windows 7 (32/64)
Windows 8.1 (32/64)
Windows 10 (32/64)(Edge browser & Metro(tile) Apps not supported)
Windows 10 Insider Preview (Fast Ring) supported in Beta builds that are released in the User Forum
There is some support for older 64-bit versions of Windows: see the download page
Thank you. It is a great piece of software. Saved my bacon and computer a time or two. Seemed a bit strange I had to fill out the "Software Export Compliance" form, but...
Yes, Sandboxie is a great program.
I've used it for at least 10 years (even just tested a downloaded screensaver sandboxed since I wasn't familiar with the website).
At times, a major Windows update will cause an issue with Sandboxie and in the past it has been addressed rather promptly by the programmers. The talk in the forums of late is concern that the more hands-off policy of the new ownership will change that.
Please correct me it I'm wrong, but I believe the Windows 10 Sandbox is only available in the Pro or Enterprise versions. Would love to try it.
You're very welcome, I'm delighted you like it. Sandboxie is a great piece of software, it can keep people safe while they browse and if you do much software download and testing it makes it sooooo much easier. It's very versatule and useful for so many things..
Thanks Rhiannon for this very helpful freeware information.
If users computers can run this, I see this announcement as one of most significant Hot Finds ever on this site
I used Sandboxie frequently when I had software I wanted to test without installing. It isolated the exe in its own safe area away from your OS
When saving web pages, I use a firefox extension called HackTheWeb.
When you click it's menu item to toggle it on, you will see red rectangles around the frames as you move the mouse.
If you don't want that frame you just click the mouse.
After sufficient pruning, you click the menu entry to toggle it off.
I use XP 95% of the time (runs faster than W7 and W10 on my old PCs)
Firefox's last edition for XP is 52.9 and the extension works in that.
Those using the latest version of FF, may have to search to find something with similar functionality
Thanx rhiannon. Been using Print Friendly for years, have it on all browsers. Would only change one thing and that is allowing us to see and save some comments with the articles. Many times comments have good info that would be useful to me. There used to be one called Clean Print that allowed that...Firefox doesn't allow it on their browser for some reason, so had to switch to Print Friendly.
Thanks Rhiannon for continuing to find useful Windows utilities.
Screen OCR, PDF to Word, small file size media players, audio file editors, video file cutters and many other free utilities will always be helpful

Copyfish puts a fish shaped button in the address bar of your browser. To use Copyfish, click on the fish icon, select the area with the text you want extracted and Copyfish opens a separate window, extracts and displays the extracted text. The overlay lets you verify the text. You can choose to copy the text to the clipboard, redo the OCR, recapture, or translate text. The translate button opens a new window showing Google Translate with your text pre-pasted so all you have to do is choose languages..............www.fox120.com

Stupid me, I was accessing Chrome not Google Calendar???
But, I finally figured it out after I put my foot in my mouth and posted the comment.
The article was published two days ago.
How are you accessing Google Calendar?
If you're using the Android app, there is no gear icon and no access to some of the settings. Changes need to made in a web browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome.
This is a screenshot from a few minutes ago of my Google Calendar in Firefox, the gear icon I refer to in the article is to the left of the "Month" box:

That is always a personal choice.
The four permissions that the add-on asks for are listed on the page for the add-on:
This add-on can:
I don't see "communicate with cooperating websites" listed there, or when the add-on is installed (I just installed it):
Here's a link to what permissions are in Firefox:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/permission-request-messages-firefox...
The "communicate with cooperating websites" isn't listed at the permissions page.

If there's anything in the policy you aren't comfortable with I would avoid installing the add-on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is it better to have Malwarebytes collect my browsing habits, or these sites with unwanted content?
I don't like this idea from Malwarebytes:
"Communicate with cooperating websites".
Sounds like MB is trying to add Ghostery features. Love Ghostery because I can allow specific advertising sires on just one or two single survey sites.

Think VoodooShield deserves another round of attention.
In combo with Windows Defender and VoodooShield's latest 5.02 version suites me just fine (talking basic free level of course).

I am running Sandboxie without any problem on my Windows 10 Home PC.
Glad I read this, and a shame I had to read so far just to find this info. Thanks.
...back when there was so little competition that once AOL had you, that AOL thought they owned you.
Well, since Sandboxie is only for Windows pro and up it doesn't apply to about 90% of Windows users. Why exclude us?

Nice
Copyfish puts a fish shaped button in the address bar of your browser. To use Copyfish, click on the fish icon, select the area with the text you want extracted and Copyfish opens a separate window, extracts and displays the extracted text. The overlay lets you verify the text. You can choose to copy the text to the clipboard, redo the OCR, recapture, or translate text. The translate button opens a new window showing Google Translate with your text pre-pasted so all you have to do is choose languages..............www.fox120.com
No worries I do that myself, often. : )
I'm sorry, I was clicking the 3 dots in the upper hand corner???
Stupid me, I was accessing Chrome not Google Calendar???
But, I finally figured it out after I put my foot in my mouth and posted the comment.
That looks like a good program, thanks. I'll check it out.
The article was published two days ago.
How are you accessing Google Calendar?
If you're using the Android app, there is no gear icon and no access to some of the settings. Changes need to made in a web browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome.
This is a screenshot from a few minutes ago of my Google Calendar in Firefox, the gear icon I refer to in the article is to the left of the "Month" box:
I use capture2text
It works in everywhere. Recommended

This must be an old article because there is no "gear icon" any longer and I couldn't find any of the items in "Settings"???
