List of Sandbox Products from Bill Stout, GreenBorder employee:

(begin message)
For freeware you might want to consider Sandboxie (authored by Ronen Tzur in Israel). It prevents malware from writing to your system in most cases, it's recommended by SANS, and it's free.

Also you may consider freeware from Bufferzonefrom Trustware in Israel.

Check their online forum for any questions you may have on compatibility and stability.

Be aware freeware has limitations; they may not prevent malware from reading sensitive data, or all keyloggers, or block access from the sandbox to local network services. First read their FAQs, forums, and comparison tables before installing.

You can also download eval versions of paid software for a limited amount of time. If you contact support they often issue additional licenses for longer usage periods.

You might also check out DefenseWall ( by Ilya Rabinovich somewhere in (Russia)) - $29.

GreenBorder has evaluation software available, but not freeware. We have a consumer version and a centrally configured 'Enterprise' version.
See http://www.greenborder.com for product and marketing info. We're going to launch a beta today of a vastly better Enterprise release which also would work well for a small home network, later today I'll post to the beta announce list and to beta forums. Beta access can also be requested though 'beta at GreenBorder.com'.
