@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,:oops: all that just to avoid having to pay!;) :p:D

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.

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.
