    i really love webroot :) but stuff like shadow defender and sandboxie can make your pc protected in real time without worring about malware just reboot and done

    I think that's how it should be. When I ran the scan, it might of being the first time that HMP scanned the driver for Version 4.10 RC. I installed that version very very early. But by the time you ran your scan, the driver had been scanned many times by HMP and already given a clean pass.

    Jmonge, I think, the results that you and I got when running scans by HMP immediately after installing the latest SBIE beta is solid proof that HMP is very good. They show how the scanner treat files when they are unknown and first show up in a computer. Later, if this files are malware, they are flagged as such and if they are clean, nothing.

    Too many niggly problems with my long term favourites of WSA + MBAM so now run the light setup of:
    Avira antivirus
    Avira browser safety beta
    HitmanPro.Alert beta
    HitmanPro on-demand.

    When I discovered and installed Sandboxie for the first time at the end of 2008, there was something about it that told me, this is it, this is what you want Bo. It was in the air, I just knew the program was for real. And even though it did not claim to kill a million or two viruses and the program was small and kind of quiet, my instincts told me, this is the program that you are looking for. By the time 6 months had gone by, I was convinced for life that Sandboxie is it.

    Sandboxie, WSA and NVT. Light, easy and strong. Right now I have CFW, WSA and sandboxie. It's super light and very secure. CFW has the firewall, cloud scanner, autosandbox, hips and the new viruscope. Pair that with WSA cloud detection and behavior blocking and sandboxie's containment.

    I got nothing but Sandboxie over here. And NoScript for Firefox. Thats proven to be plenty for me.

    You know how people sometimes say "I use Sandboxie for suspicious sites and programs...only". But for me, all programs and sites are suspicious. I treat every site and program the same way. So I don't white list sites in NoScript and run every program and file in a sandbox. I am good at following my own rules but flexible enough to bend a little sometimes but thats pretty much how I take care of my security. And it works.

    Ditto. I like to have a little bit more protection. Just in case. WSA doesn't add any overhead and it's proven to be very useful. Everything else is just filler. I could go either way with a realtime AV ( I don't really consider WSA realtime). As long as I have sandboxie I'm pretty much good to go.

    Sandboxie is so small and light and yet totally powerful in it`s ability to protect your system that it`s a security "must have" no brainer, for sure.

    You can have it with HIPS, AV, Light Virtualisation or on its own. So many ways.

    Maybe this thread should be renamed "What`s your Sandboxie setup these days"?

    Just removed MBAM 2 after problems with boot time when I upgraded to latest version (v2.0.2.1012)

    I had No problem with v2.0.1 , but I can't get my old boot time record although I tried to use AXTM and remove it through mbam-clean !!

    About Sandboxie , yes .. it is very effective program .. just try to configure it well
