There is no best configuration, it needs to be based off your system, its resources, and your uses of your system. Common sense being your most valuable asset included in your configuration.

Add adguard to web plugins instead of adblock plus . It protects better vs malicious websites and blocks ads too. and you can have 2 real time protection only in products like xvirus(free) and malware bytes(paid)

uBlock is lighter than all adblockers.

uBlock is lighter than all adblockers.

Ad block edge with Ultimate Fanboy list and malware domain list, how does this compare to adguard?

I have followed this stanford university study to gauge which performs best, but adguard is not included.

http://www.areweprivateyet.com/

Stanford University study shows Ad block edge is a beast, and my main concern is not ads, its trackers

I bet adguard will sell our personal info and surf history eventually when the price is high enough.

Ghostery does already

The best protection setup doesn't exist. In a perfect world, the "best" setup would protect you against anything, it would be perfect. But perfection doesn't exist in this world, and even the human isn't perfect, so how do you want him to create something like that ? It won't happen. Plus, you could have the best protection setup in the world, there will always be one flaw coming from the user that will make the whole setup useless, break it. Why do you think hackers are always one step ahead of the security researchers ? Because they are better. Because they learn how to think outside the box and use that creativity to create new exploits, malwares, etc. that bypass the actual "best protection setup" we currently have. If the hackers weren't better than the security researchers, there would be no domain such as the IT Security and we would all be stuck on the same level, and this for years. Yet, there's new technologies invented everyday to increase our security in the Computing world and the day after, it has already been bypassed by a hacker. So if you think that you can find the perfect security setup, you're asking the wrong question and you'll get wrong answers along with it.

The "best security setup" is what works for you and is realistically viable and efficient. Nothing more, nothing less.

The best protection is common sense,knowing what you are downloading,installing and where you are going online.As far as software the best protection is what works best for you on your machine.

Also, product keys for Common Sense 2k14 (or edition of the year) are free to everyone if you have the knowledge.

I should probably re-word my original post to reflect better what i was trying to say. There is no Pre-made best configuration. A user needs to try applications to see how they fit their uses and needs as well as system resources. Asking which is best here, will land you several opinions based from other users experience on their machines and their needs and these will not reflect your needs.

Things to take into count, that were not posted in the original post, is what operating system are you using, what are your uses of the computer "like: light surfing, email checking" or extensive graphic design, editing programs ect. " What are your resources, dual core at such and such GHZ and how much Ram.. All these factors will come into play finding you a security set up that will work "best" for you.

Only as good as the end user, there simply is no single best configuration.
