Sandboxie Plus & Classic is an open‑source sandbox‑based isolation tool for Windows that lets applications run in a virtual environment without altering the host system. It provides multiple sandboxes, a Qt‑based Plus UI and a classic MFC UI for secure testing and web browsing.
Use cases
- run untrusted programs without affecting the host system
- test software installers safely
- browse the web in an isolated environment
- evaluate potentially malicious code without registry changes
- create multiple independent sandboxes for different tasks
When to choose
- you need a Windows‑only sandbox solution
- you prefer an open‑source alternative to commercial sandbox tools
- you want a UI with both modern Qt (Plus) and classic MFC options
- you require multiple concurrent sandboxes
When to avoid
- you need cross‑platform sandboxing (Linux/macOS)
- you require full virtual machine isolation with hardware acceleration
- you need a lightweight command‑line only tool without a GUI
