如果您运行的是带有2019 年 5 月(May 2019)更新的(Update)Windows 10专业版(Pro)、教育(Education)版或企业版,则可以访问Windows Sandbox。它是一个轻量级的虚拟机,易于安装和运行,无需支付任何额外的许可费用。这个应用程序非常适合浏览有潜在危险的网站、测试未知应用程序和其他可能有危险的东西。以下是您可以使用Windows Sandbox执行的操作,以及为什么它是 Windows 10 最有用的新增功能之一:
注意:(NOTE:)如果您想了解如何在Windows 10 PC 上安装(Windows 10)Windows Sandbox ,请阅读本教程:如何通过三个步骤在Windows 10中安装(Windows 10)Windows Sandbox 。
1.安全使用任何网络浏览器访问危险网站
万维网上充斥着危险的网站,这些网站做了很多令人讨厌的事情,从分发恶意软件到网络钓鱼计划。如果您想访问您怀疑是阴暗或危险的网站,但又不想让您的Windows 10 PC 处于危险之中,请使用Windows 沙盒(Windows Sandbox)来完成此任务。启动Windows Sandbox并打开Microsoft Edge。然后继续访问该网站。即使发生了可怕的事情,也没关系,因为您可以关闭Windows 沙盒(Windows Sandbox),一切都会被删除,就好像它从未在您的 PC 上存在过一样。
2.测试(Test apps)可能有危险的应用程序并使用防病毒软件检查文件中的恶意软件
有时,您可能会偶然发现不值得信赖的应用程序。它们可能很有用,但也可能很危险,甚至包含恶意软件。如果您想安装和运行这样的应用程序,但又想在不影响您的Windows 10 PC 的安全隔离环境中进行,请使用Windows Sandbox。
打开Windows Sandbox并安装您要测试的应用程序。如果Windows 沙盒(Windows Sandbox)开始出现异常行为或您看到类似下图的内容,请当心。该应用程序是恶意软件。
此外,即使似乎没有发生任何不好的事情,也不要认为应用程序正常。可以肯定的是,您应该运行防病毒检查(antivirus check)。Windows Sandbox允许您执行通常在Windows 10 PC 上执行的任何操作,但这并不意味着您应该使用您的防病毒许可证密钥(antivirus license key)来安装完整的防病毒套件(antivirus suite)。我们相信,使用一个好的免费防病毒软件或您最喜欢的安全套件的(security suite)试用版(trial version)应该足以完成这项工作。
然后,如果您测试的应用程序和文件(apps and files)证明没问题且不危险,您可以安心使用它们。
3. 尝试您不确定要保留的软件
同样,您可能想尝试测试一些不危险的软件,但不确定是否要将其保留在 Windows 10 PC 上。Windows Sandbox为您提供了极好的测试环境(testing environment)。打开您要尝试的应用程序/程序,安装并测试它。当您关闭Windows Sandbox时,它不会在您的操作系统(operating system)中留下任何痕迹,这与您启动沙盒时一样原始。
4. 检查电子邮件中的可疑附件
电子邮件(Email)可能带有恶意软件或试图(malware or attempts)欺骗毫无戒心的用户。如果您刚刚收到一封带有可疑附件的电子邮件,它很可能是由网络犯罪分子发送的。如果您不想让您的 PC 面临风险,请打开Windows Sandbox并使用其中的Microsoft Edge Web 浏览器访问您的电子邮件帐户(email account)。然后,从可疑电子邮件(email message)中下载附件并运行它。为安全起见,请先退出您的电子邮件帐户(email account),然后再打开附件查看其作用。
即使附件很危险,您也可以关闭Windows 沙盒(Windows Sandbox)并忘记它。
您使用Windows 沙盒(Windows Sandbox)做什么?
这就是我们在您的 Windows 10 计算机上使用Windows Sandbox的方式。(Windows Sandbox)但是,不同的人有不同的需求,因此您可能会将它用于我们所做的其他任务。如果你这样做了,请在下面的评论中分享你是如何使用Windows Sandbox的。
4 things you can do with Windows Sandbox
Іf you are running a Pro, Εducation or an Enterprise edition of Windows 10 with May 2019 Update, you have accеss to Windows Sandbox. It is a lightweight virtual machine that is easy to install and run, without paying anything for additional license fees. This app is excellent for browsing potentially dangerous websites, testing unknown apps and other things that could otherwise be hazardous. Here is what you can do with Windows Sandbox, and why it is one of the most useful additions to Windows 10:
NOTE: If you want to learn how to install Windows Sandbox on your Windows 10 PC, read this tutorial: How to install Windows Sandbox in Windows 10 in three steps.
1. Safely use any web browser to visit dangerous websites
The world wide web is riddled with dangerous websites that do a lot of nasty things, from distributing malware to phishing schemes. If you want to visit a website that you suspect to be shady or dangerous, but do not want to put your Windows 10 PC at risk, use the Windows Sandbox for this task. Start Windows Sandbox and open Microsoft Edge. Then go ahead and visit that website. Even if something terrible happens, it does not matter, because you can close Windows Sandbox and everything is erased, as if it never existed on your PC.
2. Test apps that might be dangerous and use an antivirus to check files for malware
From time to time, you might stumble upon apps that are not trustworthy. They might be useful, but they could also be dangerous or even hold malware. If you want to install and run such an app, but you want to do it in a safe and isolated environment that does not affect your Windows 10 PC, use Windows Sandbox.
Open Windows Sandbox and install the app that you want to test. If the Windows Sandbox starts to misbehave or you see something like the picture below, beware. That app is malware.
Furthermore, even if nothing bad seems to take place, do not assume that the app is OK. To be sure, you should run an antivirus check. Windows Sandbox lets you do anything you'd typically do on a Windows 10 PC, but that does not mean that you should use your antivirus license key to install a full antivirus suite. We believe that using a good free antivirus or a trial version of your favorite security suite should be enough to do the job.
Then, if the apps and files you tested prove to be OK and are not dangerous, you can use them with your mind at peace.
3. Try software that you are not sure you want to keep
Similarly, you might want to try and test some software that it is not dangerous, but you're not sure that you want to keep it on your Windows 10 PC. Windows Sandbox provides you with an excellent testing environment. Open the app/program that you want to try, install it, and test it. When you close Windows Sandbox, it does not leave any trace in your operating system, which is just as pristine as it was when you launched the sandbox.
4. Check for suspicious attachments in your email
Email messages may come with malware or attempts to fool unsuspecting users. If you have just received an email with a suspicious attachment, it might very well have been sent by a cybercriminal. If you do not want to put your PC at risk, open Windows Sandbox and use the Microsoft Edge web browser from it to access your email account. Then, download the attachment from the suspicious email message and run it. To be safe, log out of your email account, before opening the attachment to see what it does.
Even if the attachment is dangerous, you can close Windows Sandbox and forget all about it.
