The Internet and computer technologies completely conquered the modern world.

But you should not forget that sometimes behind it also the hidden threat – the viruses and harmful files created and let in global network for infection of these users is concealed. Besides standard antiviruses the programs - "sandboxes" helping to prevent their access to the computer were created.
Appointment and principle of the program
Programs - "sandboxes" are intended for safety of the computer during surfing on the Internet or executions of various programs. Saying to more simple language, one may say, that this program represents a certain limited virtual space in which all actions of the user are carried out. The program which was started while "sandbox" works works only in this environment and if it is any harmful virus, then its access to system files is blocked.
Pluses of "sandbox"
Perhaps, the first advantage of this application can be taken out from the paragraph above – it limits access of harmful files to a system. Even if viruses, for example, trojans or worms, were caught during surfing on the Internet, but at this time the user worked at the included "sandbox", viruses will not get anywhere any more, and when cleaning "sandbox" will be removed from the computer without trace at all. Besides, such programs help to accelerate the computer. As in the majority the activity of "sandbox" is connected with work in browsers, every time starting its (Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox), before the user will open absolutely clean and as if newly the installed browser which has no usually braking garbage - "cache".
Minuses of "sandbox"
Those are available too, and the most important is removal of personal data, whether it be the bookmarks kept during the work on the Internet of the page or even history. The program is not ready for distinguishing that is harmful to the device therefore when cleaning from it all data irrevocably are removed. The user should consider it and if necessary to synchronize the necessary bookmarks or to use the special applications intended for saving similar data. Currently there are many names of similar programs, among known it is possible to allocate such as Sandboxie, Comodo Internet Security, etc. Everyone chooses that which is necessary it more convenient and clear. Anyway you should not forget also about minuses of these programs and to use them accurately.
