As you probably know I am a Sandboxie fan. :)

Nice review at the link below with Sandboxie scoring very well for such a small program.

Just curious, did you try Sandboxie or think you might? I've been using it for a few days and really like it. It's definitely different than most anti-malware programs and confusing at first but it seems like a nearly foolproof way to prevent malware. I like the fact it doesn't slow down the PC at all and doesn't need any user interaction like firewalls often do. It doesn't need to be updated except when a new version comes out, etc.

If you do try it, please let us know what you think :) .

Thus endeth the Mike Rochip Sandboxie Infomercial :P .

Interesting is that Sandboxie is only 242KB and all the other are atleast 7 times bigger. Sandboxie seems rank pretty good on the test.

Since the Sandboxie technique is something completely novel, I still want to give it time to read through every blah blah fishpaste.
I do want to try it, but only once I've read through all the required things.

Put it this way...it's on my to-do list ;)
