    I use sandboxie for more than just the browser. Any internet facing program gets sandboxed. That includes adobe, flash, java, etc. As well as a download folder that all my downloads from every browser go into to. So yes I really do need it.

    i think you can do the same with CIS (except the download folders) , sure you have less options and have to setup every processes in the sandbox but still doable.

    You can but sandboxie has a lot more restrictions and is far more configurable. Along with the instant recovery and auto cleaning contents and the ability to sandbox a folder. (Which I was surprised you can't do with comodo) I'd much rather stick with sandboxie because of all those features. Sandboxie is just more refined.

    i can't disagree on this ;)

    i will surely add WSA but i wonder what may happen if Viruscope and WSA rollback feature activate each other on the same threat :D

    Normally I just run CFW with WSA and sandboxie but CIS runs so light that I don't mind the additional I/O Bytes. Good question to ask either Triple helix or prevx help.

    It seems to me that guest can achieve the same protection by using Shadow Defender (which he already has)! ;)

    True, the only difference will be that Sbie allows execution restrictions (in example against keyloggers) where SD just remove anything added on the protected drives.

    in fact both are complementary.

    Today i uninstalled Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus, i think it does not bring me anymore protection or more feeling that i'am super safe. But i do miss some features, like Active Processes list, because there was time display how long each process was running.

    What i still have is:
    Emsisoft Anti-Malware 8.1
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO
    (+MBAE and HMP.Alert)

    I did surf (with no good reason) 2 weeks without Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit BETA
    and after that 2or3 weeks without HitmanPro.Alert 2.5/6 BETA.
    But i need them to get that super safe feeling:)

    Two different pieces of software. I have shadow defender but only use it for testing. Don't like the system virt since sometimes I forget to commit things and they get wiped on reboot.
