Sandboxie is an open-source OS-level virtualization solution for Microsoft Windows.[10][11][12] It is a sandboxing solution that creates an isolated operating environment in which applications can run without permanently modifying the local system.[10][13] This virtual environment allows for controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.[13][14][15]
After various ownership transitions (Sophos[16][17][18] acquired Invincea[1][19][20] which acquired Sandboxie from the original author, Ronen Tzur), Sophos eventually dropped support and released the code as open-source.[21] The day after the Sophos announcement, a third-party developer known as David Xanatos forked the open-source project[a][2][22] and expanded it later with Sandboxie Plus.[23]
