Your reply has greatly eliminated my concern over the critical dependency of both a FW and an AV when using Sandboxie. When using Sandboxie, the use of an AV is not required at all. Why? Because as no permanent changes to disk will be produced, you don´t care if a malware infects your machine. As s...

Some users only use Sandboxie and choose to have no FW or AV at all and they are very happy indeed.
