I just installed this as an extra security layer to try out. There are free and paid versions. Especially if you still have JAVA installed you may want to take a look.
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antiexploit/Free version covers:
1) Shields browsers and browsers add-ons
(including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and others).
2) Shields Java.
Paid version adds:
1) Shields PDF readers
(including Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader).
2) Shields media players
(including Microsoft Windows Media Player, VideoLAN VLC Player, QuickTime Player, Winamp Player)
3) Ability to add/manage custom shields.
They DO offer links on the above page for tests and results. It seems to have topped the 'reverse' list put out by PC Security Labs and they offer what looks to be an 'in house' test with an independent resource doing the testing.
I have zero idea at this point as to how it actually works but suspect that it sets up isolated SandBoxie type situations or, at least, uses something similar.
