    How did you get Java to work with that setting without the browser freezing? I have tried this a few times before and Firefox would always lock up. Instead I've been using Avast Pro sandbox for Java.

    If your browser is sandboxed you can't sandbox any plugins. I have Java in a Limited sandbox and it works fine.

    IDK how Avast's works.

    I've done the same thing and decide to go with KIS.
    NIS was perfect but the problem was high rate of false positives.
    This was my in case and it doesn't mean it is happening in whole world on every other PC with it installed.

    So is it heavy and slow on your system? Consuming a lot of ram? Or is it as light as a feather for you?

    Post how Iron is running these days. I tried it before and liked it quite a bit but the updates were a little too infrequent for me. If they were even once a month I'd probably switch back. I tried to get chromium to be my default browser but was not successful, maybe because it was portable?

    Question about sandboxie- if I force a program to always run sandboxed will it be able to update? Or do I have to disengage the sandbox protection, update then sandbox again? The programs I'm thinking of always running as sandboxed are my media player and pdf viewer.

    If you let the updater run in the sandbox it'll work.

    So far I haven't had any problems with it. I noticed all the temp files stay in the sandbox, and nothing is goes to the main cache folder. The one downside is the Java icon does not load to notifying its running.

    I would like to see it in action against java exploits. But I missed several opportunities to test it in VM Ware as the file is quickly removed.

    I personally prefer Comodo for sandboxing Java. It keeps it separate from Chrome instead of leaving them both in the same sandbox. I think because Comodo doesn't stop anything outside of the sandbox from getting in? Not sure.

    Either way, in my tests Comodo has done great against Java exploits. Haven't tested Sandboxie...

    I still do not trust, so that I only have two programs based on it: NIS (Real-Time) and MBAM Pro (On-Demand)

    The fact that I have started using a security suite that I always liked the Norton and how I'm doing the internet shopping and online banking, I thought I would have something to "complement/strengthen" my setup. Another thing that made me buy the NIS is that I was tired of running all the time Shadow Defender, and an anti-virus would be far more practical.

    The "no trust" in fact what I mean is, do not put much faith in this type of security so I use Sandboxie to complement.

    Sandboxie is still the mainstay of my safety!

    Sorry for my English!

    Well, I am bored and tired of all the registering/downloading/installing/testing/uninstalling of antivirus software. Moreover, it leads nowhere anyway.
    ESET it is.
