"Download MP3 Audio" File of This Narration 

INTRODUCTION TO SANDBOXIE: 
Sandboxie is kind of a program that creats a complete quarantined seperate environment to run programs in your windows , this is very effective and safe when a web browser is sandboxed and the Host Machine is safe and it cannot be infected by and virus attacts , spams , spywares and more .
HOW TO GET SANDBOXIE :
sandboxie is a program that you can use to run anytype of windows program in a sandbox . Goto official website of sandbox  open your browser and type "http://sandboxie.com" and press enter.
HOW ITS WORKS:
on the official site they have a visual demo which shows that you can run apps and websites quarantined into a sandbox . The demo on that Site shows that all the all you do on your machine is protected , as soon as you close the program etc , lets say you were downloaded viruses ,exploits , trojans , malwares , spywares etc , they all were in the sandbox and as soon as u close the sandbox all that dangerous and junk things they are vanished gone forever !

The red arrows indicate changes flowing from a running program into your computer. The box labeled Hard disk (no sandbox) shows changes by a program running normally. The box labeled Hard disk (with sandbox) shows changes by a program running under Sandboxie. The animation illustrates that Sandboxie is able to intercept the changes and isolate them within asandbox, depicted as a yellow rectangle. It also illustrates that grouping the changes together makes it easy to delete all of them at once.
Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox
  • Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
  • Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
  • Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
  • Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.
SANDBOXIE PROTECTS PC:
if you did not had sandboxie installed on your machine that the first place , all those spyware and viruses would have screwed you ! and your machine would have been infected , but the minute you closed the sanbox everything is deleted and your host machice is clean! and all that crap is gone!
So Download the latest version of the Sandboxie from the official site and install it .
