Download Sandboxie Plus 5.55.8 / 1.0.8

Sandboxie is a program that makes it possible to run programs under Windows in a protected environment. In this way, changes made by programs or web browsers are easy to undo, and there is no risk of affecting important parts of the operating system. Sandboxie can be used on Windows 7 or higher and offered as open source. It is available in a classic and plus version. Internally they work the same, but the latter has a more modern Qt-built user interface. Since version 5.55.6 / 1.0.6, the following changes and improvements have been made:
