YES if you are running untrusted applications or applications that may be exposed to malicious content (like Internet browsers, image previewers, PDF readers and so on). I have got an anti-virus/firewall software, do I need sandboxing then? This because by reducing the access level an application can have over your system you actually help the job of your anti-virus software. Please note: Sandboxing does not eliminate the need for a good anti-virus system, it actually works in conjunction with your anti-virus software.
New processes inherit the sandbox of their parent. It is not a replacement for other operating system access controls. This safety mechanism is intended to limit potential damage in the event that a vulnerability is exploited. The sandbox facility allows applications to voluntarily restrict their access to operating system resources.
