I've been using Sandoxie to run Firefox for a year, problem-free - except:

After a couple of weeks, the hard disk is grinding away, doing something, near constantly.
I couldn't discover what or why. Couldn't find the answer at the Sandboxie forum or by search engine.
Then it stopped. Nothing had changed, no new programs. But it went away.
Then after a few months it's back again. Showed up when nothing had changed on the computer.

I don't have any signs of malware infection. I have a host of security programs: Comodo Firewall,
Threatfire, WinPatrol, Spyware Guard, Spyware Blaster, Blacklight, Script Defender.
Running Win2000 SP4 on a Dell with 1.8GHz P4, 512MB RAM.

Anybody familiar with this or have any helpful ideas? Much appreciated.

Welcome to PCWorld Community!



OK, I have Sandboxie (the paid version) running on both XP and Vista for

about the same lenght of time and have never come accross your situation.



One thing I did notice is that you didn't mention any AntiVirus.ThreatFire is

a HIPS program and prone to false positives . Are you sure

it's Sandboxie ? Is there any one of those security programs that might be

running in the background. What does the Task Manager say when this

happens and can you pinpoint the process to stop it ? How long does this

activity lasts. Do you have some kind of "Indexing Program" like Google

indexing program. This would account for all of the HDD activity but , not

on a constant basis.
