How To Run Downloaded Files Without Fear
How to run downloaded files without fear
For a long time, I’ve been a bit paranoid about files downloaded from the Internet, whether they’re torrents or even documents from email. Before I open any new download, I immediately check it with Virus Total . I think many of you are doing the same.
But this is not convenient, although it protects, I do not argue. It is easier to run files in an isolated environment, that is, in a dedicated environment. Even if the program you are running contains a virus, it will not be able to break out of this environment and “infect” the entire system.
The sandbox is implemented using the free Sandboxie program. You can download it from the official site. The installation process is as simple as possible — agree with everything that is in the installer and click “OK” in the window that appears after downloading.
