Config looks good! As suggested, windows built in back up works just fine.

Came back to my favorite webroot finally^^
after one week with comodo; it's more polish but always same past issues with unknown files from window and drivers which can cause system problems; the new web filter is not really ready and my surf was slow; not really impressed finally by this V7; it's nice on paper but not so stable as always
i am finally happy to come back in webroot world; my laptop thanks me lol

A little update, i added yesterday again MBAM free as on demand scanner: i removed also privazer

[alexp79]

Minor update; i removed opera and put again firefox as browser. Opera freeze a lot on window 8.1 from my experience; i don't know why; last version of firefox is fine and works well again^^

 

[alexp79]

Finally get rid of fsecure; not sure but i think they really should make an update for window 8.1 computers; there were more and more freezes with time and last days it was too much; this product is at final quite heavy for a laptop i came back with kaspersky (antivirus) and i am surprised as my laptop feel better, no freezes and all good; so here is my actual setup

Very frequent changes. In fact products you have chosen for realtime are not light except Avira, Eset and webroot.
You ll probably not find anything lighter than Avira, webroot and Eset.

 

[alexp79]

hello nikos,
true since last year i changed a lot; about lightess, i find the new kaspersky really light on my laptop. I wanted to keep fsecure but i experienced some froze with it so i moved again with kaspersky

Light does not mean its good. The topic starter has Kaspersky AV + Windows FW on this system which is not a bad combo.
And none of the programs you have mentioned are going to top that level of general security well eset might...but its all apples and eggs.

 

[alexp79]

thanks; i should maybe open a new topic when i bought a new laptop so it would not be confusing; i did some changes but not so many on my window 8 laptop; past topic was about an old window 7 laptop

Yeah, the new kaspersky is light & good indeed
Its a very very good choice.
@n.nvt I agree with what you say, I only referred to them as some light solutions (simple & light).
