Nice Setup !!
Just want to suggest HitmanPro for on demand.

In case you want to explore more, try Sandboxie, Rollback Rx and Shadow Defender

Very Nice config.
I'm a major fan of Webroot, How are you liking it?

Thanks 3link9..:) Webroot is pretty good. Used it alone for around a month and didn't have any problems. Really loved looking at how light and fast it was. But i couldn't digest the whole cloud idea and what it would do when i am offline. I know it rolls back everything once online and it detects something, but still. So i added Trend Micro of which i had a license. Since Webroot can run as companion AV, no problems. Just had to add each to the others exceptions.:cool:

What's the need for Zemena AntiLogger? Is it the Free Beta or Paid version?

Not a bad setup, only thing that I can think of that you can add is Lastpass, HTTPS Everywhere and maybe No Script.

Earth asked because you also have the free version, but it is different, it works more as a Keystroke encrypter rather than a keylogger detecter/remover.

You have to know that Zemana Antilogger (paid) is less efficient on x64 system, unless you need its HIPS and doing lot of online banking/shopping, it is not really needed on your system since Webroot cover this already.

Looks good I also agree with McLovin on LastPass and HTTPS Everywhere and madyrocksin on HitmanPro.

I like Sandboxie and Shadow Defender also,They are worth trying

I never really considered Webroot until recently {Umbra had a bit to do with it}I am running it as a companion to KIS 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit and I think it works great.I have had no problems and I really dont even notice it is there.I am becoming a fan of it too.I want to run it alongside another AV program in Windows 8 also and see how it performs.

@ Umbra Corp.
Online shopping is the reason i added it.

@ McLovin, exterminator20
Added HTTPS Everywhere. WSA Complete comes with password management (by lastpass if i am right).

Exact. Lastpass rebranded that works in IE.

Trend Micro added around 8 seconds each to boot up and shut down times.. Other than that, no problems..:)
