A native Windows set-up, nice.

Don't want to bloat anything, so not much to suggest except using a TPL for IE9, possibly?

Hi,

First of all , you should remove MSE, yes it sound excessive but the product is so slow and inefficient that using it is a opened-door to malwares.

check this review done by our main reviewer

if you want a free solution, rather use Avast, Avira, Panda Cloud AV, Comodo IS or other.
you can keep Tinywall with Win7 firewall.
Your On-demand scanners are good (note: Ccleaner and Defraggler are not O-D scanners just maintenance tools), you can add Hitman Pro or Comodo Cleaning Essentials as O-D scanners.

Do you use any backup softwares? (sorry Malware Maniac & McLovin )

[McLovin]

Couple of things that I say to add, a backup option, maybe have ago at Firefox and or Chrome with the addons, WOT, Lastpass, Adblock Plus and WOT.

Just some of my suggestions.

You can also add Hitman Pro as a on demand scanner, its a good second opinion scanner

[Spirit]

Adding Tpl and wot is enough for you.
Mse is not that bad considering if a user is not much adventure loving

My son has been on all the 'X' rated and Super 'XXX' rated sites and MSE picked up all the viruses and trojans made I think, but MSE never falted. We run MalwareBytes 'real-time' in the Excluded Process File setting so it won't interfere. I works great...

I've used MSE from early beta to the latest version, the new v4.1 is much improved.

Would you recommend TinyWall?

I was wondering the same thing actually. TinyWall or not?

[arsenaloyal]

tinywall is excellent program,similar to windows firewall control its free and constantly developed. if one has MBAM running realtime then MSE should be fine.
