Ahh, I see. Well in that case then sandboxie is a better choice. Might even starting using it myself.

Sandboxie'sandbox is based on full virtualization unlike CIS which is based on policies. they work differently so it is why they dont conflict each other. (this will change when CIS v6 sandbox will come with full vurtualization too)
Exactly right kind sir.
Very much looking forward to the next phase of CIS in 2012, think it may see a lot of interest :)

The automatic sandbox is policy based, the manual sandbox is fully virtualized.

Solid config.... Do you feel any slow down with this config?
You could add to your setup a password manager like Lastpass....

Very nice config, only thing i would suggest would be to set your UAC to maximum and have some type of back up in place for those rare occasions..

Removed Comodo AV component, added Emsisoft Anti-Malware (30 day trial) may consider snapping this up as very impressed thus far.
Installed Waterfox 9 browser also added Sendori DNS servers (216.146.35.240, 216.146.36.240).
Had to ditch keyscrambler for Waterfox 64 bit as not compatible at moment :(
Eset Online Scanner added instead of Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
Happy to keep this config until CIS 6 beta appears :)

Online Armor Free 5.1.1.1395 added, removed Comodo FW 5.9.
Will await avast! 7 and CIS6 for testing until i modify my main set up again.
Online Armor Free obviously marries well with EAM :)

Waterfox browser updated to version 10.

I'm waiting to see if Emsisoft will merge OnlineArmor into their Anti-Malware, for a complete Security Suite.

Has Emsisoft tweaked OnlineArmor for maximum compatibility between the two, or did you need to change some settings?

Well there is the new 'Internet Security Pack' which includes EAM + OA premium.
I believe OA++ is soon to be discontinued.
Would make a lot of sense to combine EAM/OA/Mamautu as one suite tho'.

EAM + OA Free appear to be behaving well together, no tweaks just added folder/.exe exclusions to both.
