[QUOTE="Der.Reisende, post: 744330, member: 32430"] Yes, TC is really lightweight and not bloated with useless features you can replace with other, maybe more useful tuneup tools (for free). It’s AV only, seldom these days. I use Sphinx Software Win10 Firewall Control, the free one is good enough, though Windows Processes are whitelisted and cannot be altered (only in the paid version(s)). Mind that when you come across fileless malware, hijacking and calling out via windows processes. Many vendors are weak against those. However, every other process will give you an outbound alert by the Firewall tool (it does use the built in Windows one). If you ignore the message, it will block, you can edit later. Very useful! And some Anti-Ransom (like AppCheck, free is good enough) will improve protection. +an on-demand 2nd opinion Scanner, like NPE or ZAM portable, both free. You might be good to go with that combo, you might replace Tencent is needed, as this combo should work fine with other free products, too. 360 TS: It had a great past, but the current version is not much better against 0days than Tencent IMO, and it’s bloated with useless stuff, the firewall module contained in the Premium version currently isn’t more than a gimmick (a joke protection wise) though 360 HIPS will cover some exotic malware actions TC will surely not (like wiper malwares). 360 TS report for June coming soon.
