Anything not running in the sandbox will run as per normal. I haven't run Incredimail but it should be able to run sanboxed without any problems. Sandboxie will only block certain apps connecting to the net if configured to do so. I use both along with Virtual Machines if and when the need arises. There are horses for different courses with Sandboxie, Returnil and VM's excelling in their intended usage.

My opinion is that Sandboxie is a great, if not one of the best security apps ever. Less than half a meg download, around a meg installed, using minimal resources and exceptionally secure. Sandboxie at default settings is highly secure and the below banter may seem a bit tedious but after using SB for a while and getting used to how it works it sorta becomes second nature. Sandboxie - Getting Started Sanboxie FAQ's I have the registered version which allows me to create multiple sandboxes but I only usually use two. The default sandbox is set so that only Firefox, Windows mail and WMP can run with only FF and Windows Mail being the only apps that can use internet resources. In other words any sandbox can be set so only certain apps can run and only some or all of those apps can connect to the net. I have a "Test" sandbox where I install all tpes of malware and rogue apps that I may want to check out as these simply cannot run in the default box as it's set for only certain apps. Delete the contents of the Test sandbox and not a skerrick remains. Control Your Sandbox

Just a bit of a story following and no help with the command line. If I remember right about three or so years ago I was using a version of Kasperky that used alternative data streams in their scan engine to speed things up. When Kav was uninstalled these thousands of ads remained so KAV brought out a special tool to supposedly get rid of em. The tool deleted most of them except for around 20 or so that just couldn't be got rid of without a format reinstall. I decided to use Partition Magic to change the file system to Fat 32, where ads can't and don't exist, then change it back to ntfs. Luckily this seemed to work without any probs with no ads showing after the conversions.
