    I got rid of Comodo Internet Security Premium, replaced it with avast! Antivirus and went back to Windows 7's built in Firewall. Doing that has freed up a few processes, and has brought a tiny bit of my memory back up. I added a few more additions to my arsenal of security....Secunia PSI for making sure all my apps are patched, System Explorer to make sure my processes are secured and safe and a File & Drive Wiper/Shredder program called Hardwipe. I also ended up adding Easylist and EasyPrivacy subscriptions to my AdBlock extension.

    EAM is good, glad you kept that one as well. Is there anything you suggest on tightening up the security in Sandboxie, besides a few restrictions and Dropmyrights? I am wanting to make it as strong as possible.

    A question for those who own Appguard, is it a one time fee for a lifetime license...Or is it subscription based?

    I use Chrome. I feel I don't need Sandboxie. I tried it before and its ok, but I prefer HIPS, BBs and/or Anti-Exec type of security. Maybe I will try again someday but I doubt anytime soon.

    I have no need for Sandboxie my friend. If I feel I need more security, I could easily import my applocker policy and/or apply it plus put defense+ in paranoid mode. These two cover what I need. I use bitdefender trafficlight + https everywhere extensions.

    I probably would chose anti-exe.

    I would use Comodo Firewall + Applocker before I would use Comodo Firewall + Sandboxie, but thats me....

    After been three years in Linux country I decided to look whats up in windows world. Used to be a security junkie back in the days and kind of miss testing security related stuff :)
    I run Windows 7 64 bit. I remembered Surun being a genial peace of software so I use that and Microsoft security essentials only. No firewall or other HIPS. For now at least :)
