I have Emisisoft Internet Security, ESET, Sandboxie and HitmanPro Alert...so what would the benefit of adding AppGuard and would it actually work or make any difference in the security?

I play lot of online games (Star Wars Online, Battlefield 4, Guild wars 2 etc) so I don't want this to interefere with it.

ESET Smart Security or NOD32 ?

If ESS on 2 different systems or combined with EIS on 1 system ?

Anyhow...

AppGuard protects the physical system should anything "break-out" of the Sandboxie sandbox or - more likely - you make a mistake.

AppGuard in Lock-Down mode is probably as good as can be had from a software restriction policy security soft - unless you use Excubits Bouncer or NoVirusThanks Smart Object Blocker and write all the rules. Writing all the rules is a horrendous task if you don't know what rules you need.

AppGuard is the most user-friendly of the SRP softs, Lock-Down mode SRP is very tight, and at only about 5 MB RAM usage it is difficult to do any better.

Yes. By adding AppGuard your security would be "maxed-out."
