Sandboxie is a standalone secure program that is used to test programs before running, usually to see if it is binded with malware.
Is it safe?
Sandboxie is a safe download. You will not be infected unless for some odd reason you are stupid enough to download from other than the vendor himself, Ronen Tzur.
Reality: Why are you making this thread?

Sandboxie is easily BYPASSED now. It is no longer a 'proprietary program,' in which you will remain safe. Sandboxie was originally fine, with minor problems such as Stealers still being able to steal information, however now people are able to get infected, and should not be directed for Sandboxie on a normal basis!!!
How, Why, Obvious reasons that it is no longer useful as it was.
Look at the average crypter on any hacking site, IE: HF. Most crypters come with the function, 'Anti Sandboxie,' and if they don't, every RAT has one itself, if it's a good one. When the server is not FUD, it'll be protected when ran in sandboxie, but if crypted; then run in sandboxie, it'll fail to protect the user and they'll be infected
Sandboxie can work well, though!!
Running Sandboxie stand-alone on an operating system will leave you infected, Why?
Malware is often coded to detect if Sandboxie is on a computer, or a virtual machine. If the malware detects it's on a computer, it'll activate, if it detects Sandbox is running on a VM, it won't activate, because it'll sense that it is not going to be stealing any info, as it is being tested.
What's your next move, when someone asks about a file?
RE: Before saying 'Use Sandboxie it works, no virus!!1'
Anti Sandboxie just kills the sandboxie process most of the time which is meant to lead most users into thinking it's corrupted when running through sandboxie therefore they might run it normally and get infected.
But, the annoying thing is, stealers will always be able to retrieve information through the sandboxie environment :s

html, Cybergate has one of the most poorly coded anti-system I have ever seen.
Most anti's at that. Most anti's just kill the process. So few of them are actually effective.
Really good anti's would just spoof the scanning module to skip that file. Sure it is about 50 times as much code, but it is 1000x more efficient.
