They can visit a malicious site and not worry about an exploit infecting the system. They can even install a program while being sandboxed to see if it is malicious. If the program is malicious, just empty the sandbox and all traces are gone. If the program is not malicious and you want to keep it, you will still need to empty the sandbox and reinstall while not being sandboxed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandboxie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Download Sandboxie<\/a>\u00a0and give it a try.
