I went with this, so far so good. Uninstalled firefox it kept crashing, can't they just leave it alone...

Make a choice between SecureAPlus and SpyShelter... it will go better for you...

Can u explain why. I thought one is a firewall and the other is strictly a white list.

Oh and should I disable the Win 10 firewall?

No.

SpyShelter Firewall is not just a firewall. It has application white-listing as well. There is some duplication of function between SecureAPlus and SpyShelter Firewall. Consequently, it might require double configuration and\or you might have to respond to double alerts.

Anyhow, I looked at the SpyShelter site. They changed Restricted Applications to Sandbox...

so, with this change, it might work OK with SecureAPlus.

Just something to think about if you start to get double alerts. In my experience you are attempting to combine too many security softs... but that is just based upon my own personal experience.

It just might work well for you on your system and for you personally...

Webroot and SecureAplus is an enough component to cover the concept of prevention measures considering one of them can handle whitelisthing technology.

However better yet either choose one between Webroot or SecureAplus to tie with Spyshelter.

Please edit your config with more information.
WSA & Heimdal would be a good combination also.
CCleaner or Privazer if not already installed
One or two more on demand scanners
Some type of back up solution
An additional browser

For a backup solution might i suggest Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper both have a very good free version.
