    Dont let it stop you from using the free version of sandboxie you Can still apply restrictions and use drop rights and more.

    Removed SecureAnywhere as Identity Shield was freezing my system. With the amount of study I have ahead of me I just don't the time nor the inclination to set about debugging software.

    Now running MBAM PRO and Firefox Google Chrome under Sandboxie.

    Edit: Firefox just isn't up to it any more; Chrome is leagues ahead.

    That's why it's more often referred to as WSA.;)

    Wow, that is downright exotic looking for you! All joking aside, I've always dug your simple/effective setups.

    Been using Bitdefender IS 2012 for a while with Sandboxie. I'm more than pleasantly surprised and satisfied! No problems or conflicts whatsoever (at least such that I can notice). I was very reluctant for quite some time to try the new Bitdefender suite having seen the mass of negative posts in their forum, mostly about the severely impacted browsing speed and horrible pings. But again I see from experience that it's very different on different computers and set-ups. The ping have never gone over 31 and browsing is very good ( Avira slows it down more at least for me). May be some slow-down when torrent client is active and downloading at max (50 mbs in my case).

    Comodo firewall, appguard and sandboxie are working well. I have appguard set on high. Lock down was causing all sorts of ruckus on appguards log. I'm sure high setting iis still pretty secure.

    Had to stop running Chrome sandboxed yet again as deleted bookmarks were reappearing after a restart; I'm sure this has something to do with Chrome's sync feature. Will start a thread on the Sandboxie forums...

    Because of this, I wanted a simple, light and free AV so I installed Panda Cloud.

    As good as Privatefirewall is, it might be more than I need, so I've traded it out for Mamutu again.
