    Sandboxie with Prevx and Mamutu are pretty light on my computer. As far as how secure that combination is, all I know is that even with all the browsing and downloading that I do, there haven't been any infections detected in scans with Hitman Pro and MBAM.

    Uninstalled KIS 2012, was hogging PC while gaming.
    Although i do accept it was because every single thing in it was maxed out just for fun :D

    Gotta get my EAM licenses soon. 3 EAM and 1 OA Weeew

    Windows x32 Ultimate dual core E5200 @ 3,0Ghz 2GB RAM, 140 MB/s 1TB drive plus internal backup drive (old 250 GB drive)

    UAC (changes from default)
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    - "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" set to 2 (prompt for consent)
    - "EnableInstallerDetection" set to 0 (off) does not elevate programs without manifest based on installer recognition from user space (unsafe places)
    - "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures" set to 1 (on) only elevate signed programs

    Selective Deny Execute to prevent drive by infection
    Added a deny execute for everyone for through right click properties security tab for (see pic)
    - data partition
    - download directory

    Added the 1806 trick to add a deny execute for downloaded executables
    (see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1852024&postcount=5)


    Contain rights of internet facing software in Medium=basic or Low=protected
    - added explicit Mandatory Medium rights with no write up/execute up (through hcml http://www.minasi.com/apps/) for mail and windows media player,, to prevent elevation requests
    - using chromium (low rights tabs) which is unsigned so will never elevate, with --safe-plugins and --incognito switches

    Secure autostarts in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    - all autostarts set to mandatory HIGH (no inherit, no write up) with regil, because of High rights, all basic user or protected mode processes (Medium or Low rights) are not allowed to change, but admin (High rights) is allowed to do so.

    On demand
    Antivirus
    dumped Hitman Pro for A2 Emergency Kit
    added right click check with DrWeb (chrome extension)

    Backup
    Paragon image backup of C
    Syncback for data backup and media files

    Real time security

    Trying Google DNS.
    I seem to be alternating between Norton DNS, Comodo Secure DNS and now Google DNS.
    I used to have ClearCloud in that mix, but since they are discontinuing the service, I moved on.

    I've been using eset nod32 v. 5 (hips disabled) + outpost firewall pro 7.5 for 3 weeks now.

    But, yesterday I came back to kaspersky internet security 2012 but changed it back to that combo. I must honestly say: kaspersky is really bad product. :doubt: Well that's only my opinion about it.
    With kaspersky, I have slow system, slow windows startup, slow scannings, eats lots of ram (more than nod32+outpost) etc etc etc. I've been kaspersky fanboy for a very long time but finally I've seen the light! Thank god for that! There is way better products out there. :)

    With nod32 and outpost I'm using malwarebytes free and admuncher.

    System feels light and secured! This is the setup I've been looking for and finally I've found it. ;)

    Updated to include my new scanners + the fact that I've increased my java sandboxing to Limited from Partially Limited. It seems to still be working for the few sites that I use java for.
