Afgelopen zondag is versie 3.32 van Sandboxie uitgekomen. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om in Windows andere programma's in een afgeschermde omgeving te laten draaien, wat ontwikkelaars een zandbak noemen. Op die manier kunnen wijziging die door programma's, zoals Internet Explorer, worden gemaakt eenvoudig ongedaan gemaakt worden en is er ook geen risico dat belangrijke onderdelen van het besturingssysteem worden aangetast. Sandboxie wordt door Ronen Tzur ontwikkeld en een levenslange licentie kost 22 euro. Hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal in versie 3.32 is veranderd:
