What is  sbiedrv.sys

The sbiedrv.sys process is a component system file bundled with the other program files, system drivers and DLL resources that are used and referenced by the Sandboxie software, which is an application classified as a system virtualization tool designed with a set of functions for creating a virtual environment that can be used to install and operate programs in Windows-based systems without affecting the configurations and settings of the system itself or other installed applications. The sbiedrv.sys file is packaged with the installer distributions of the Sandboxie software, and this also means the sbiedrv.sys process is installed in the system upon the installation of the Sandboxie program. The sbiedrv.sys file is specifically deployed as a component of the Sandboxie Kernel Mode Driver module, which is built into the Sandboxie software.
