Pre-Install Questions

[Unknown_User_627]

I have read about SanboxIE for a while now and have wanted to try it out. I do have a few questions before I install.

1. I understand that I can set IE to run in the sandbox by default, correct? Will this impact updates I get from my other software vendors like my AV, Firewall, and antispyware program?

2. People often email me MS Word files that I must save. If I run my email client (outlook express) in the sandbox, will I still be able to save these files? Presently, I have had 1300 files sent to me in 3 years that I have saved on my computer.

Usually programs don't launch a full-blown IE window (and process) to download updates, so the answer is no, it will not impact updates.

However, for updates that do occur in IE, for example, starting Window Update from IE, then you will have to run that session of IE outside the sandbox.
