Sandbox

Zebra

Can anyone recommend a free sandbox?

GunJack

sandboxie always seems popular

Linbox

sandboxie running inside a Virtual_machine on vmware or virtualbox loads of possibilities.

I'll give Sandboxie I try, seems easy enough to use.

If I do get any nasties appearing in the sandbox does it just mean that they're easier to remove?
Would you just run Malwarebytes etc within the sandbox or on the pc as a whole?

It is easy to use. It is also easy to understand what it is doing. If I can understand it, almost anyone can.:)
I always browse inside the sandbox, and only go outside it to update the browser. I feel very safe. Any malware is just deleted along with the contents of the sandbox.
You will get nagged to pay for it after 30 days though. It does it by delaying opening the browser (or other programme) for 5 seconds. You can carry on with that arrangement indefinitely.
I thought it was worth buying a lifetime license. YMMV.
