That is one impressive setup, chaoticadult.
Lots of food for thought in there.

Thanks my friend. I just downupgraded back to Windows 7 after using Windows 8 for about a week. I added a few things to my typical Windows 7 security setup (Sandboxie + Comodo Firewall). Everything worked out just how I wanted I have no need to change it.

You give me something to shoot for when I get a few other things squared away. Keep it up, friend.

Thanks, it is working well. I might tweak a few things here and there but my setup is going to stay the same for awhile.

Be careful not to get lost in keeping track of all those complicated and long settings.

Oh! I see. It seemed to be chaotic to me. Anyways, it's really tight. Did you ever try to create a sandbox for your pdf reader? I tried to sandbox adobe but it would not start in the sandbox. May have been a conflict with it's built-in sandbox, who knows.

Well Comodo Firewall is very customizable my friend Yes I created a PDF Sandbox, it should be my so called chaotic settings, if not I forgot to type it out I don't use Adobe PDF Reader, I use PDF X-Change Viewer.
