BreatheJustice's laptop config...

[breathejustice]

Here is another configuration for Internet explorer.
I turn on ActiveX filtering
Also, I have disabled Adobe flash player for all sites so that flash player can be activated at only known websites (e.g., tudou, dailymotion)....

How often do you perform scheduled/manual scans with Qihoo 360? I would recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for on-demand scanning.

I've not tried ABP with IE, how stable is it and resource usage?

I would definitely add an on demand scanner(s) Thanks for sharing your config

Your config is topnotch, if your habits are not truly hazardous regarding your surfing/downloads.
Use Hitman (free/trial version) for scan as a second opinion if you suspect that some malware infiltrated your system or for piece of mind.

-----------------------------------

I do not scan manually..
I am just so cautious to use internet and to install software to my laptop.

Is it conflicted to each other if I install two antivirus software in my laptop ?
I was told that it is not good way to install two or more antivirus software...

ABP for IE is stable..and ABP does not use much cpu and ram... (My laptop is i7-4510U and 8GB ram)
The disadvantage of ABP for IE is that.. I cannot customize the adblock list..

What would you suggest on-demand scanner ?
On-demand scanner should not be started automatically with Windows start-up. Is that right ?

I would try to use Hitman.....Some antivirus software may deteriorate the speed performance of my computer because it starts automatically with Windows starting...
So I am hesitating to install it.
I would install Hitman to my old netbook (atom n2600..?) and try it...

Hitman is on demand scan program. It wont take your resource on startup mode. It's a kind of second opinion software with great detection rate. You need only to use it if you think or know that your system is compromised by malware.

Listed "On-demand Scanners: Qihoo 360 Internet Security" ? Should have been left blank.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not an Antivirus, but as long as you use the Free version without real-time protection, there should be no conflicts with Qihoo 360. However, you will have to manually update MBAM definitions before scanning every week/month.

See the first post here, they should still work on Malwarebytes v1.75.x and v2.x - If not, then check the help files for Malwarebytes regarding available parameters for the free version.

nice config you should add another browser just to be sure and you should add a password manager to secure your passwords when you are online.

Oh...I should have blanked the on-demand scanners...I didn't know it. But I can't amend it now..

I have tried Malwarebytes antimalware yesterday... Thanks.... My computer is very clean...Nothing has been detected.
