Does regular use of Sandboxie threaten your hard drive?

So, my question is pretty simple: can regular and frequent use of Sandboxie, for things like web-browsing and using chatting programs, both on a daily basis, place unnecessary stress and wear on your hard drive?

Be well, and stay safe!

Sandboxie could not terminate programs in sandbox

Hello and good day. I'll be as straightforward as I can. I really need advice on this, fellow Sandboxie-users. I use a program for 3-D chatting called IMVU (Instant Messaging Virtual Universe).

Is it okay to use Sandboxie for regular internet-browsing?

One of the primary reasons I downloaded Sandboxie was to add an extra layer of defense while surfing the internet. However, a technician I spoke with hinted that surfing the internet in a sandboxed browser isn't really the purpose of Sandboxie. My computer, so far, runs Sandboxie fine. Are there any...

Trying to Open Google Chrome in Sandboxie?

I've heard, but do not know for sure, that Google Chrome is not ideal for being used in Sandboxie. Whenever I try to run Google Chrome sandboxed, a box pops up that states the following: SBIE2102 File is too large to copy into sandbox - data_2 [DefaultBox/6461696] SBIE2223 To increase the file size ...

Does frequent use of Sandboxie threaten your hard disk?

I just want to know if frequent or even excessive use of Sandboxie can possibly pose a threat to the condition of your hard disk? I ask this because I read that Sandboxie works by creating a partition, or reserving space, on your hard disk in order to run the programs you want to contain in a sandbo...
