Let me suggest Ccleaner and Privazer, work very well together in cleaning your computer
Thank you Sr. Normal. Yes I use CCleaner now and then however Sandboxie container is cleaned everytime I close Firefox - so I assume Privazer wouldn't have a lot to do :)

Hello artoor,

Default-Deny (AppGuard Lock-Down Mode) + Windows Firewall Control config verifies you are advanced user.

Only someone with experience would choose that combo.

That is a really nice combo.

No more questionnable configuration because that's a solid configuration already, as long maintained and well configired then its case closed. :)

Guys, considering my configuration what do you think about EMET. Will it bring my security to an upper level? Any pros and cons?

Just keep your OS and software updated. You use SBIE so you should be safe if used correctly.

If you have a paid HitmanPro license, the currently in testing, HMP.Alert 3 will include Exploit Mitigation.

Why not downgrade to SpyShelter Premium?

Might i suggest Aomei Backupper free version as an alternative. It is very reliable. :)

HitmanPro.Alert 3 sounds very reasonably in comparison with EMET - thanks :)
I guess there is no difference between SpyShelter Premium and SpyShelter Firewall but the firewall module (that I've actually disabled) - that is why I let it be as it is ;)

Thank you frogboy. AX64 TM works fine so far - if I encounter any inconvenience I'll take your suggestion under consideration :)

For EMET, this tool is really in-depth hardening tool, you will notice this if using such program like analyzing the processes (via Process Explorer) if encountered an vulnerability attack on a browser or PDF Reader and not easily detect by a naked eye user.

Alternately this exploits can be prevented by following program like MBAE (Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit).
