The data is then
processed and

finally flows back
from the progam to
the hard disk via
write operations.

The transient nature of the sandbox makes it is easy to get rid of
everything in it. If you were to throw away the sandbox, by deleting
everything in it, the sandboxed statistics would be gone for good, as if
they had never been there in the first place.
You could also try a new toolbar add-on, browser extension or just
about any kind of software. If you don't like it, you throw away the
sandbox, and start again with a fresh sandbox. On the other hand, if
you do like the new piece of software, you can re-install it outside the
sandbox so it becomes a permanent part of your system.
Sandboxie intercepts changes to both your files and registry settings,
making it virtually impossible for any software to reach outside the
sandbox.
Sandboxie traps cached browser items into the sandbox as a by-product
of normal operation, so when you throw away the sandbox, all the
history records and other side-effects of your browsing disappear as
well.
Any incoming, unsolicited software (spyware, malware and the like) that
you download, is trapped in the sandbox. Changes made to your list of
Favorites or Bookmarks, hijacking of your preferred start page, new and
unwanted icons on your desktop -- all these, and more, are trapped in
and bound to the sandbox. They all get destroyed as the sandbox os
dropped.
The ActiveX mechanism lets Web sites run little programs in your
computer. These are mostly well-natured programs, for example
automatic download managers or automatic toolbar installation. Some
not-so-well-natured Web sites use this mechanism to install spyware
into your computer. You could browse with ActiveX disabled (by turning it
off, or by switching to a browser that doesn't offer support for ActiveX),
but you would be trading security over functionality. With Sandboxie,
you can keep ActiveX turned on, and have both security and functionality.
