King Mellow's Layered Security 2016

[Cats-4_Owners-2]

@Cats-4_Owners-2 I have a question about Sandboxie. How can I force my browsers (firefox, chrome) to run in sandbox? Should I have the paid version?

I use the free Sandboxie, and right click the browser's desktop icon choosing "Run sandboxed", although when the default browser opens automatically (sometimes) w/o a sandbox I'll then <copy> the address line, reopen the browser sandboxed, and close the non-sandboxed window. Whew, all that just to avoid having to pay!

Some suggestions were posted in your previous thread: http://malwaretips.com/threads/renew-eset-licence-or-switch-av.47134/

Windows Defender is built-in to Windows 8.1, with Network Inspection Service available making it on-par with Microsoft Security Essentials. You can easily opt-out of MAPS from the settings, or switch to Advanced membership.

Check that Windows Updates are set to Automatic, as the Virus definition updates via this service. Or you will be prompted to update daily.

If you use CCleaner, don't opt to clean Windows Defender, as it will remove the most recent last scan logs. Or you will be prompted to scan with WD. Cleaning old definition or WD files can be removed with Windows Disk Cleanup with Admin rights.

Windows Defender has heuristics and behavioural monitoring, but not visible in the settings or interface. Windows Defender will automatically remove threats with no user interaction. Adware detection is mediocre, although it will improve over time.

You may not want to use Windows Defender, if you believe the paranoia crap from review sites.

Look at the giveways section on this site! Free Avast Pro licence just by doing an extremely short survey!

@King Mellow : Well you may go/use on those letter starts on 'A' or 'C' or 'X' which are always free as much as possible.

Its a better habit to test AV's capabilities on VM so that you can check have a reference for comparison.

@King Mellow : Any reason why you didn't remove those disabled extensions? You may get that copy on their extension folder and keep them for future use.

Check for little tutorial

No need to use MBAE since u r using anti-executable & either use avast sandbox or sandboxie & since u r using sandboxie i don't think u really need any browser immunization.

Thanks guys! I removed Avast Premier's firewall, it's not really needed IMO.
