LOL! Okay, I was bragging. I wash dishes.
Sometimes they let me out of the kitchen to bus tables, but when I return, they run manual scans to make sure I am clean.

LOL Page. Look at the bright side at least you know you are clean after the manual scans are done

Yeah, seems like a very calm system. Very little user-interaction necessary... as it should be!

And when autosandboxing comes it'll be even moreso.

did you enable SSL scanning for traffic light?

Exactly. Very light as well. Well Said. Lets just say I get why you don't like AVs now

Ok so I decided to add sandboxie. I also have Nod32, MBAM Pro, Ad Muncher and Online Armor firewall only.

Quick SBIE question- my default browser is Chrome. When running Chrome sandboxed with more than one tab open I only see the top tab in SBIE. Are all tabs in Chrome sandboxed or just the one that is on top? Maybe that's a dumb question but I am new to this SBIE stuff.

EDIT- also for some reason there are no [#] emblems in the Chrome tabs. Is that normal?

They are all sandboxed.
One way to confirm is to drag the finder tool over the window in question...

Sandboxie Control \ File \ Is Window Sandboxed? \ Drag the Finder Tool over a window to select it, then release

I don't see them in Chrome either, and I have Sandboxie configured to show the # indicators. You can always have Sandboxie display a border around the window.

Removing the AV (Avira) has made a profound impact on my setup. I guess the absence of real-time scanning, even for a light AV, makes a big difference that goes far beyond simple memory usage. Browsing hasn't changed much, it's windows explorer that's much snappier.

Removing D+ from Comodo FW on the other hand has had no noticeable impact whatsoever, so I'm thinking about just keeping it around an an anti-executable. I'd feel safer this way anyway now living without an AV. It would help fill some of that void.

PCAV is even lighter if your inclined to try it. Not that I found Avira heavy but I did notice a difference on my Netbook.

Good setup lucid. You don't need an AV with the setup you have. You are all set IMO.

Disabled AppLocker and re-added Sandboxie. For as much security as it provides, AppLocker doesn't sit well with someone like myself who likes to download all sorts of suspicious files. I could either add a temp rule to run them, or turn off AppLocker and run them under Sandboxie. So that's what I've done.

Still running as a standard user. After a few days of doing so, I'm getting used to it and certainly feel safer knowing my admin password is needed for any system changes. Much like running Linux really.

Thanks chaotic

That's what I've done. Re-enabled D+ in Clean PC mode with unrecognized files treated as "Restricted".

I'm really liking my setup the way it is now. Doubt I'll mess with it much for awhile.

Your welcome. Glad you re-enabled D+. I don't think I will be messing with my setup anytime soon either. I'm enjoying how light my setup is.

You're welcome. Glad SBIE is working out for you.

Removed BitDefender QuickScan, WOT and SiteAdvisor. Returned MBAM to on-demand. Installed BitDefender TrafficLight.

BTW- I checked with the file check you posted about above to see if Chrome was sandboxed. Nothing really happened when I tried that. Also, even though there is supposed to be a yellow border around the sandboxed applications, nothing shows up for Chrome. It shows for firefox, though, when my pointer touched the outside edge of Firefox. But I check SBIE and it shows Chrome as running in the sandbox. Maybe this all is just a Chrome issue? Everything seems to be going fine otherwise.

BTW II- when my 30 day trial is up, what features go away? I'm particularly interested in being able to have the context menu option to launch apps within SBIE as well as the standard ability to run downloaded apps sandboxed as well as internet facing programs. SBIE is so nice I'm sure I'll go ahead and at least buy a 1 year license anyway.
