    Is sandboxing Chrome really necessary with it having it's own sandbox? This is an honest question I'm not being sarcastic or anything.

    I think Kees (Windows-Security) once said that Sandboxie combined with Chrome's sandbox give extra security. Maybe he'll comment about it. Nothing has gotten by them on my machine.

    I would cover Chrome with SBIE as well for extra security.

    Yeah I like the auto delete function in sandboxie. I was going to run chrome inside Comodo's sandbox but it wouldn't launch so for the tiny download that it is I've installed sandboxie.

    Just tried Macrium Reflect again, but this time using WinPE 4 instead of Linux recovery media. Worked flawlessly! So M$, even if you wanted to completely get rid of your system image recovery tool in Win 8.1, I'm not afraid. I've already got a fine replacement. Mwahahaha!! :D

    Was it the manual sandbox or the auto sandbox? If it's the later was it set to the Full Virtualization mode?

    Manual, using the 'run virtual' option.

    Edit to add: Firefox runs fine using the same option.

    Interesting. IIRC I could run Chrome sandboxed just fine with the manual sandbox, but got problem with the auto sandbox if I set it to untrusted. OTOH, the right-click AV scan didn't work for me instead. Hmmm... :doubt:

    Based on my personal experience, I know it is. If you are careful about new install and the files that you run out of the sandbox, you will not get infected.

    Good Afternoon! Received an offer from my Bank....1 yr complimentary to trial McAfee Internet Security 2013...in tandem with WSA Security Plus...so far everything running smoothly. Even though McAfee has a somewhat dubious track record...as of the last few months...it has garnered some positive critique! So can't hurt to trial! Stay Tuned! Sincerely...Securon

    I prefer your old avatar actually. Not that I'm a fan of Lucky Star though. :D

    Anyway, any reason at why are you using SRP instead of AppLocker?

    A slightly altered setup this evening!

    Windows 7 Home Premium (up-to-date)
    ESET Smart Security 6
    New: VoodooShield
    Removed: OpenDNS/DNSCrypt (browsing was slowly sadly)
    New: DEP fully activated (looking in to EMET 4)
    Firefox (latest) with LastPass, Disconnect, Adblock Edge
    Nightly backups to Skydrive (considering re-purchasing Backblaze)

    EDIT:
    MalwareBytes (Free) and HitmanPro as on-demand scanners, scanned once a week or so.

    Doesn't WinPatrol Plus deserve to be called at least mini HIPS? Doesn't Scotty bowwow at all?
