Probably a malware disguised as Sandboxie was created.

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize to what degree scam artists were mislabeling products as viruses or somesuch.

If so, then I've been fooled for over 7 years now. lol

I will add that I can't tell you how many browser drive-byes that SBIE stopped cold. The OP at that website's a poser. :)

SBIE has protected me often too. It is so comforting to know that all I have to do is delete the sandbox to eliminate any threat.
