I am not a pc addict like some of you but still I appreciate sandboxie. Thanks for the good work.

I was wondering, when adware or spyware installs inside sandboxie, does it work? Which means does it copy my passwords or surf habits which should be accessable through my browser? Is it useful to run an Anti spyware programm inside sandboxie?

You don't need to run an anti-spyware tool inside Sandboxie.

If you already have an anti-spyware tool monitoring your system, it would see into the sandbox and warn you about spyware.

(But note that this interaction between different tools works much better in version 2.80, and later, than it did in version 2.64.)

But in general, if you're worried about your passwords leaking to some unknown third party, then I would recommend,

a. keep them in a separate, encrypted password store such as KeePass,

b. when you need to use them, copy them from the password store into the browser, and do not, ever allow the browser to remember them

As usual, you must sacrifice some ease of use, for greater protection.

Actually as a security precaution I came back to typing my passwords manualy and have them on a sheet of paper. I personally consider this pretty safe. I wasn't aware that an Antispyware tool was also monitoring sandboxie since Antivirus Software isn't or did I get something wrong while reading a couple of comments im your forum.

Anyways thank you for your answer and keep up the excellent work.
