    Nope. I've been running WSA and sandboxie for a while now. I have all the settings that Kees mentioned. I actually have some of them set a little higher. Everything works well and there are no fights.

  4. Maybe the heuristics:
    - Set the community slider to high in stead of max for USB and Internet (when you don't try a lot of software keep it on max)
    - For local, disable popularity, increase advanced heuristics + age to medium (since sandboxie clears content, only relatively new data staying on your harddisk should be monitored).

    Okay, thanks kjdemuth and Windows_Security. I've been running WSA with default settings up to now, I'll try these adjustments.

    BTW, subnet scan and webshield enabled in Online Armor.

    Yes, it is overkill.

    Yes.
    Online armor has a webshield.
    Even the free version.

    I was being sarcastic.
    Have you ever seen it in action?
    ;) :D

    I used OA Free for a long time (with Avira) and it never blocked anything....so, it's like it does not exist at all.

    You have a point.
    No never saw it in action,not even once but i think it shields against specific sites.
    Not certain on that though.

    I ran it with avast for a while and i turned the OA webshield off and left the avast one on.
    Avast webshield is far superior.

    I wish it would use the same blacklist as EAM's web protection.

    I don't care how they work cause I can drive my car. ;)
    But I do care why WebShield does not block malicious/phishing web pages.
    They should better rename that module to Banking mode or something similar.
