[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 947883, member: 37647"] By default, a sandboxed app in Sandboxie can see the files on your real system, but not modify them. So you won't get ransomed. But if you want higher privacy, so a sandboxed app cannot even read the personal data on your real system, you need to tweak the settings, as others explained. If you are looking for an app that has high privacy protection by default, it's called ReHIPS. By default, it will prevent isolated apps from reading data stored in user space. If you tweak it, you can block read permission in additional locations, such as a second hard drive, etc. [/QUOTE]
