Software Update: Sandboxie 5.22

Version 5.22 of Sandboxie has been released, the third stable release of the 5.x series. With this program it is possible to run programs under Windows in a protected environment. That way, changes made by programs like Internet Explorer are easy to undo. In addition, there is no risk that important parts of the operating system will be affected. Sandboxie can be used on Windows XP and above, and a license costs 25 euros for a year or just over 40 euros for a lifetime license. This update includes support for the Windows 10 Creators Update.
