multiple sandboxes in registered version

Post by Unknown_User_402 » Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:35 pm

Hi there.

This is my first post!
I've just registered sandboxie after a short trial during which I was very very impressed (I learnt of sandboxie through the techsupport mailing list).

Anyway - once my registration key arrives, I'll be interested in using 2 sandboxes. One for "normal" surfing where my browsing history can be retained, and one for a "clean" environment, where the sandbox will be emptied regularly for the purposes of internet banking.

I'm wondering - if something nasty does get into the "normal" environment, and I don't empty it regularly, will my "clean" environment (and therefore internet banking) be safe from the nasty in the "normal" environment?
And will the rest of my PC be safe from the nasty?

I've read lots of forum posts and other info on the website, but I'm not clear on this point.

Thanks for an outstanding program.

Thanks for registering.

Yes, should be safe.

For extra safety, I would also suggest that if you go to your bank in the clean sandbox, while surfing in the nasty sandbox, you take a precaution. Which is to look in Sandboxie Control and make sure the nasty sandbox isn't running any programs that you don't recognize.

(I guess it would be nice if Sandboxie displayed more information about the programs running in the sandbox.)
