[QUOTE="93803123, post: 837772"] Sandboxie only protects your local system. Other systems can still be infected. Testing malware can result in a spread across your local area network (LAN), dependent upon the network access allowed in Sandboxie as well as the networking for the PC on which Sandboxie runs and the network access configuration for all other systems on the LAN. With just a single PC connected to a router there is a risk that additional infection could happen. The how of it can be any of a number of ways. There is no way to quantify that risk, but the probability would be a relatively small number. [/QUOTE]
