Hello,

If you want to use paid product, my choice is Emsisoft.
If you want free antivirus (In my opinion free softwares more than enough) I can suggest you Avira Free & Avast Free.
Use offline installers and watch out their software offers!
I love the config that you have, it is basic and it can be good.
I just want to strenghten your browser, because all malwares come via this channel.. add these extensions
- HTTPS Everywhere
- WOT
- use uBlock instead of current adblockers you have. (uBlock is amazing blocking extension)

and CCleaner for tweaking and cleaning your PC regularly (daily clean my favaorite) Watch out the installer it offers other programs while installing, but CCleaner is very good product.

Hello Abdelwahaab,

1.

Look at BiniSoft's Windows Firewall Control 4 ($10 US, Lifetime License, unlimited installs) ... is a Windows Firewall GUI that notifies user to all outbound network connects.

2.

Adding MBAM real-time (paid) is not necessary with EAM.

Your money is much better spent on BiniSoft's WFC.

WFC greatly improves Windows Firewall protection. With outbound connection alerts by BiniSoft's WFC, Windows Firewall is sufficient for typical use.

By the way... I use EAM + WFC.

Actually that's my same setup and actually if you are not going on those pesky websites/unknown programs then you will not be infected considering your computer knowledge level.

But as per suggestion, you may tweak a lot of settings like Avast Free AV which includes the feature of Hardening Mode to block any unknown program instantly.

For internet security, try Kaspersky Internet Security, one of their backbone feature is application privilege control which provides powerful ability to limit or prevent programs to execute.

If you want another AV, my choice is Avast for free and Emsisoft for paid.

MBAM real time protection alongside EAM is perfectly ok, but only if you already have a license. Otherwise just use Windows Firewall Control :)

I know KIS is pretty awesome defense castle but it takes a lot of ram i believe in paid software i will test EAM and WFC
