Sandboxie is useful if you take the time to configure it properly and use it. For me it was too difficult to configure and I'm often in a hurry and don't stop to use it. Therefore it didn't get used and I removed it. It has a place, but it's up to the user to put it to work.
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

So if I nearly never use it, it's better that I uninstall?

I use Sandboxie and think it's an excellent layer of defence. I also find it useful to try programs occasionally. There is a little configuration, it's a good idea to drop your rights for added protection for example. It does add a couple of seconds to my browser start up time but I can live with that.

It's nice to be important, it's much more important to be nice.
