Sandboxie 32bit runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.

It offers secure web browsing by running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie Classic means that all malicious software downloaded by the web browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.

It has enhanced privacy where browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the app and don't leak into Windows. It prevents wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.

Since the Open Sourcing sandboxie is being released in two flavors the classical build with a MFC based UI and as plus build that incorporates new features and an entirely new Q’t based UI.
