I use TimeFreeze

There are other sandbox programs, but this one is the simplest one
I've ever used.  Sandboxie is too bothersome.

Go here to read about it:

Go here to download it:

I'm using the freebie one, not the $25 one.  If the freebie expires, I
definitely will buy it.

It doesn't show up on the author's page any longer as being sold.  It
used to cost $25.  I've been using it over a month now for free and
have had no nags about buying.  I have a feeling it is now free.

In short, every time you reboot, your box returns to the state it was
in before you started using the sandbox.  Nothing lasts on your
computer. Nothing from your last browsing period remains.

However, you can copy a program to a folder you have set outside of
the sandbox.. But that file might be infected.  You have to be super
careful. I simply wouldn't do that if I were you. Keep everything in
the sandbox.  If you must download and save it outside the sandbox,
check it first with VirusTotal.

Just upload the file to VirusTotal and see what all the different anti
virus programs say about it.

Another one is Shadow Defender.  This one does expire in 30 days.

Download both and try both.
