Sandboxie Plus 1.15.12 / Classic 5.70.12: Protect Your PC from Malware with Isolated Sandboxes
Sandboxie is a powerful sandbox-based isolation software that allows you to run programs in a secure environment, preventing malware from making permanent changes to your Windows NT-based operating system. Developed by David Xanatos and originally created by Ronen Tzur, Sandboxie has come a long way since its open-source inception. In this article, we'll delve into the world of Sandboxie Plus 1.15.12 and Classic 5.70.12, exploring their features, user interfaces, and download links.
A Brief History of Sandboxie
Sandboxie's journey began with Ronen Tzur, who created it initially. Later, Invincea acquired the software, followed by Sophos, which has been developing and maintaining it since then. However, in 2023, David Xanatos took over the project, making it an open-source initiative.
What is Sandboxie?
Sandboxie creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment where applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. This virtual environment provides controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing, ensuring that malware cannot make permanent changes to your system.
Features and Security
Sandboxie Plus 1.15.12 and Classic 5.70.12 share the same core components, guaranteeing a similar level of security and compatibility. The main difference lies in their user interfaces:
- The Sandboxie Plus build boasts a modern Qt-based UI, supporting all new features added since the project went open source.
- The Classic build relies on the outdated MFC-based UI, which lacks support for modern features. However, these can still be used by manually configuring the Sandboxie.ini file.
