Hmm.. what are you're software used in XP SP3? Is this a dual boot style or separate computers?

Is Emsisoft Anti Malware is installed on XP?

Seems good configuration there. :)

All the softwares wrote up are used in XP SP3.
In Windows 8.1 I don't use any of them.
This is a dual boot style computer (W8.1 + old version W - Xp; XP + Ubuntu + Todo).
Yes, Emsisoft Anti Malware is installed on XP.

Is this a triple booting system? Are you unable to run a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu?

Any reason to continue using Windows XP?

"Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 / Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro / Emsisoft Anti-Malware 9 Full version" are not on-demand scanners, since they are already running in real-time per system. Apart from Malwarebytes, do you use any other scanners?

"COMODO Firewall 8" would be considered real-time protection.

Thanks for sharing. :D

Edit: (Replied at same time)

You should only use one Antivirus or Suite, else expect conflicts and less security.

As jamescv7 asked are you dual/triple booting or all OS on different PC's?
I would dump XP in favor of the Linux OS & Windows 8.1
KIS 2015 is a complete suite including a firewall and enough real time protection on its own

COMODO Firewall 8 is set only COMODO - Firewall Security (not Proactive or Inernet security).
Emsisoft Anti Malware is installed on XP but is not running in real-time protection (On-demand Scanners).
Boot Windows 8.1 (for my daughter)
EasUS Todo backup
Old version of Windows Window XP (for me)
Ubuntu (for my daughter)
EasUS Todo backup​
One PC. For three years I have no software conflicts.

Interesting config :eek:;)
But i have to say too many real time protection software's but since you don't have a problem you should keep them.
Thanks for sharing.

For alternative you may use their Emsisoft Emergency Kit as on demand scanner ;) even though you don't have received any conflicts caused it makes only everything complicated. ;)

Running alongside Kaspersky Internet Security? its might be an overkill there so following combination will be better:

1) Kaspersky Internet Security (configured very well) + on demand scanners

OR

2) Emsisoft Anti Malware (configured) + Comodo Firewall ( some components that you may wish to enable) + on demand scanners (Unless you wanted to make it MBAM Pro)

Just choose one.

Some run parallel to each other without any visible conflicts but they can't run at their full potential and when you opt for only one you will clearly know the difference.
