    Yes, I know what you mean. The only way I can get Sandboxie and PC Tools firewall and Chrome and for that matter, Firefox to run together is open PC Tools go to >Settings>Filtering>Enhanced Security Options, set the slider bar to LOW. Strange thing is that if I run iexplorer 8 in sanboxie I can set the Enhanced Security Option bar to HIGH and it runs no problem in sandboxie. Only Chrome and FF are a problem when the bar is set to HIGH. Setting the bar to low might weaken the firewall though, am not sure, that is why I added Spyshelter for added security.

    Finally got Chrome working well with Sandboxie. It was indeed Chrome's sync feature that was causing deleted bookmarks to reappear. (Solution here for anyone that may need it - thanks to Guest10!) Because of this, I can now delete my real-time AV. To be running with just Sandboxie and MBAM PRO feels great and makes me even more glad I purchased them both.

    Ditched the AV, likely for good this time. Was going to hang onto it because it was paid and I loved it. Didn't wanna waste it, so I gave it to a good, click happy friend that could use it.

    I'm going to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox with my next "update Tuesday" too. So wish me luck with my add-on's...

    Finally found the ultimate security setup:

    Running a custom (I built and modified it from sources) Linux 3.1 kernel 64Bit with Selinux.
    Only needed services/daemons installed.
    All complied from scratch.
    All pakages installed from source (Firewall, Firefox, Chromium, Bastille)
    Using UFW firewall to easily configure iptables
    iptables blocks entire Russian and Chinese ip blocks.
    PSAD (Port Scan Attack Detector) Used to block any IP that port scans me.
    Bastille - Linux Hardening "wizard".
    LUKS/LVM Encrypted disk with bootloader and MBR on flashdrive and back up on CD-R.
    Selinux is set to Enforce all.
    Tripwire integrity checker.
    chkrootkit and rkhunter (just in case).

    Now I want to see someone hack that :D :thumb:

    You dont need to do so much
    by just installing Linux, you have eliminated 99% of risks automatically :argh:

    On my dad lappie win7 64bit :

    Spyshelter : restrict IE and Firefox, auto allow - medium
    MSE : auto quarantine / delete
    EMET

    He use it for browsing (internet banking) and a little bit gaming

    Any idea to make it more "silent" yet secure?

    True :D But I wanted to make it as bullet proof as possible. My next try will be making the OS "re-image" itself every boot. The kernel will also be read-only and ciphered with a random key (which is wiped from RAM on shutdown).

    Were I not running 64-bit, this would most likely be my setup too. That being said, I'm extremely happy with Sandboxie!

    My realtime protection on my PC :
    Geswall

    Kingston PC Doctor
    Threatfire
    Panda URL filtering

    My second opinion :
    Malwarebytes
    Hitman Pro
    Superantispyware

    My backup :
    Shadow Protect (for image on external hard disk)
    FD-ISR (The original - for snapshot on external hard disk)
    Keriver 1 click restore (for snapshot on the disk)
