Play games within a sandboxed environment, using SandBoxie

December 7, 2007 in Security | Permalink

Screengrab_3 Our PC is like an open secret. If you share your home computer with your family, then they have access to your web browser, Internet browsing history, the applications you've installed on your PC and the games you've been playing whilst your family are out of the house. The snag is, the history, info, preferences and other details are all stored on your computer. The answer is to launch applications within a virtual environment, so that the info does not remain on your machine.

Sandboxie 3.21 enables you to launch applications within a sandboxed environment, where the information is retained within the sandbox and not stored on your drive. This means your game playing history, files required to launch the game and more are stored in a virtual box. This also safeguards your PC from malicious software.
