I currently use Sandboxie free to compartmentalise my computer such that I have
three sandboxes:
- Sandbox Firefox (for Firefox + online games)
- Sandbox P2P (with no internet access and restricted file access)
- Sandbox DefaultBox (misc)
Unfortunately the free version does not allow me to run multiple sandboxes simultaneously
[SBIE1303] which means that in order to run peer-to-peer programs I have to shutdown my web browser first! I ended up sharing my Firefox sandbox with online games so as to run them alongside each other. Any miscellaneous files of unknown safety are run under the default sandbox (with restrictions).
It's pretty unavoidable to use some applications during others so I have a copy of Opera that isn't sandboxed and some other key applications in a similar situation. This makes me uneasy but with the restrictions of the free Sandboxie version I don't have much choice in the matter. I would be so happy if I could run multiple sandboxes concurrently
