Launch apps in a secure environment

sandbox-grab.gifUsing a computer between multiple users has obvious drawbacks; privacy is just one important issue. PCs will store information whether running an application or even a game certain information will remain on your machine. It's not exactly ideal to have this information on your machine let alone it being visible to other users. Having to make sure you clear your information each time you use your computer can be inconvenient, wouldn't it be easier if you could run an application within a self-contained environment? Then you could simply log off without manually clearing any data.

Sandboxie 3.30 is an application that enables you to run applications in a sandboxed environment, very useful for anyone using a shared computer. All the information stays not on your drive but within a sandboxed environment, this also helps to protect your system from malicious infection.
