    You can have too little protection.

    It was this review that got me on to Sandboxie over three years ago after experiencing a pretty severe malware attack which completely disabled my system (no thanks to Microsoft Security Essentials by the way).

    Once you get your head around the the concept it really is a simple and effective piece of security software, suitable not only for a novice but also capable of being hardened to quite an advanced level.

    I have windows firewall, Avast and Malwarebytes.
    I am satisfied I have enough protection but I do like the idea of an anti-keylogger program, worth looking into I think.
