Did a little cleanup : Removed Wisecare and Iobit Advanced Sytem Care and Chrome.
Replaced With : Auslogics Boostspeed , which is my all time favorite tuning suite and Mozilla Firefox which I prefer above Chrome.
complemented the system with Emet.

like the simple security setup very much the only drag on system I notice is the startup of my browsers is gone down a bit. for the rest I am very content with this
