[QUOTE="vaccineboy, post: 787969, member: 74786"] With an adblocker, the chance of getting infected via browser is reduced to really really small (I believe, experts back me up here) so having Sandboxie is most likely a placebo to me. Experts here are bad because instead of preaching sane practices, they are immersing in an imagined apocalyptic cyber world and purposefully drowning susceptible souls while devilishly laughing at them. I guess sheeps will be sheeps until one morning, tired after configuring softwares all night before going to work (non-IT), they ask themselves: when was the last time I, or my happy-clicking porn-loving dad, get a virus?
