What breaks or provides a false sense of security by browsing with browsers behind sandboxie?
 
I know that I can download malware in the sandboxed browsers and Webroot won't say a peep.
 
If I enable ESET, then eset interupts the download.
 
So what do I loose in terms of protection by running sandboxed browsers?
 
Are there ways around this?  (beyond disabling sandboxie?)  i.e. any settings in sandboxie that I can modify, like the .ini file or the .cfg file?
 
Also, would it be prudent or counter productive to set webroot processes as protected in EMET 4.0?

I would not set EMET to run on WSA.
Regarding your other questions, I will allow Webroot to respond.
