The software you use is already sandboxing much of the code you run every day.
For example, your web surfing app essentially runs web pages you visit in a sandbox.
Other programs on your box are also sandboxed.
For example, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer both run in a sandbox themselves.
These browsers are programs running on your rig, but they don’t have access to your entire computer.
They run in a low-permission mode.
By running the web web app with fewer permissions, we gain security.
Sadly,Mozilla Firefox still doesn’t run in a sandbox.
Sure, there’s UAC – but as we mentioned above, that’s very minimal sandboxing.
Sandboxing isn’t something the average user needs to worry about.
The programs you use do the sandboxing work in the background to keep you secure.
