Anti-Executable & Sandboxie - Is it enough?

I run Sandboxie because I feel comfortable using it, I like what the program offers for me. I have heard some great things about Mamutu though.

 

I went ahead and turned on UAC to max but under Admin only account. Even though a standard user account is ideal for better security, I did not create a standard account, because I like to add system changes without the worry of them being reverted back.

I just can't do standard, it is just too limited for me. I figure even though I run admin only, at least I still have UAC on.

I am thinking about having the admin account only, with UAC on max and EXE Radar Pro and Sandboxie on for real-time. Do you think a combination of all three would cause too much conflict?

Just FYI (In case it helps): I am the only person who uses this computer.

 

I see no conflict in that setup

 

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering here, Do you keep UAC enabled on your machine?

 

Yes set to Max.

 

Are you running Admin or Standard/Restricted user? I am asking, just so I know what to go with. I like to mess around with settings to get what benefits my setup. Getting an idea on what people run on theirs, will help me get a clearer idea of what I want to run.

 

I run as admin. Only user on my laptop.

 

Ok cool, because this is the setup I am currently running with UAC. I like having the freedom of tweaking and messing around with the system, so I don't like being too restricted, but I also like being notified of system changes, especially if I am not the one executing them.

Thanks for answering my question, you have been of great help.

 

No problem, glad I could help.

 

Sorry if I tend to repeat myself in my posts.

 

Its ok. You have the wilders syndrome

 

I never would have thought I would, but HaHa I do.

 

Haha. You are using Windows 7 x64 right?

 

Yes, on all my Windows machines.

 

Oh ok. I thought I seen you mention it. So you must be waiting on EXE Radar Pro x64 right or are you planning on using Faronics Anti-Executable?

 

Yes, I have been waiting for it...It is a nice program. I tested out the 32-bit before, and liked it so much...I purchased a license. The dev said the 64-bit will more than likely be release sometime this month.

I guess that is where the title can kind of through you off a bit, since Faronics has Anti-Executable as their product name. I am referring to using an Anti-Executable in general....in this case, I want to use EXE Radar Pro.

 

Oh ok. I gave up waiting on a x64-bit version of Exe Radar lol.

 

Yeah, development for 64-bit has been somewhat slow, but I also hear that it isn't easy porting to that environment.
