SandboxIE is good and free, I can't find a single reason to use ZA force field...
Imo, Defensewall should be classified as HIPS

Well, maybe you should test ForceField out for a little bit, it does have things such as spy site blocking.

Forcefiled is a joke. It runs about 6 processes adding up to about 50,000K and bogss your pc down like crazy.

These are all the ones I'm aware of at the moment asides from Sandboxie:

Buffer Zone
GeSWall
Greenborder (acquired by Google and now used as part of Chrome)
SafeSpace
Virtual Sandbox

I've tried out both Buffer Zone and Virtual Sandbox when I started out looking for a virtualization program to complement my other security software - both bogged down the system considerably from what I remember.

Sandboxie may not have the most user-friendly GUI, but it also has the least amount of impact on system performance IMO. Still using to this day and hope that it'll be ready for Windows 7.

SafeSpace is dead

I tried ZA FF and was amazed at how much memory it was using. It really didn't have too much of an effect on my browsing speed, but I was really just underwhelmed by the interface.

SafeSpace is dead

The program is no longer developed or supported, true, but it remains available as a free program for personal use. I've read comments that it may not be the paragon of stability, but as with all individual systems, YMMV.

I belive i got a virus from sandboxie

I ran an installer in sandboxie, then avast started warning, i imedintly went to sandboxie, terminated the process, deleted the virual harddrive, and then scaned my computer, and apparently i had a couple trojens or something running. I dont think they were in procces, but after, i kept scanning, each time they would dtect something, so i dont think the virual hard drive works yet. Then i installed avira, and it delted the crud

Is there any really good sandboxing software that is tottaly free, and compatible with regualr av programs
