I recommend Zemana Anti-Malware as a second on demand scanner.
Think about getting system image software (Macrium Reflect is great for this) in case very bad things happen and you want to restore your whole system in a few minutes.

Thanks for sharing your config!

Just installing Zemana and will check out Macrium Reflect

I'd add HTTPS Everywhere and switch Bitdefender Traffic Light (Bitdefender should already block malicious and phishing URLs without Traffic Light) to Avira Browser Safety.

Oh and make a system image backup in case something goes wrong with your system. I personally use AOMEI Backupper but many will also recommend Macrium Reflect too.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey, @AMD1 !
Nice config, but consider adding Emsisoft Emergency Kit as an on-demand scanner.
Consider adding Avira Browser Safety and HTTPS Everywhere to Chrome.
Thanks for sharing your config and I hope I helped.

Thank you all

Swapped Traffic Light For Avira Browser Safety

Will Check Reflect and AOMEI Backupper

Forgot to include VoodooShield is also on my PC(free version)

HTTPS Everywhere now added to Chrome.

You (good) people on this forum has talked so much about Zemana,that purchased a 3 year license today,could not be helped

Great real-time protection. Why are you not running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware real-time as well? It might be overkill, but you did pay for a lifetime license, so why not make use of it?

Also, do consider creating a backlup image of your system, so that you can restore your system to its exact state, as it was when you created that backup image. (unless you don't have a problem reinstalling or repairing your OS in case of a software malfunction or a malware infection)
Here are some recommended applications for this task (I prefer Windows Backup, or of you want a third party application, Macrium Reflect Free):

• Windows Backup and Restore

OR

• AOMEI Backupper Standard

OR

• Macrium Reflect Free

Other than that, you're good to go, mate. Thanks for sharing your config with us.

Consider some type of system backup solution.

i see inconsistencies in your setup : you have a backup software but never use it?

 

[AMD1]

Wow, thanks for all of the comments.

MBAM is now changed to realtime. I had it set to on demand as i thought there was a conflict with Bitdefender bu all seems OK at the moment.

I will get a backup software solution in place for system images.

Kind Regards

Andy

Hi All,

Have installed and run AOMEI Backupper

Have also changed Bitdefender for KIS Total Security which i had before but have bitten the bullet and paid for another year !

@AMD1

Nicely done. Store backup images in a partition separate from your OS or in some external storage medium (you can even burn them on disks) to keep them safe and ready whenever you need to use 'em.

Make sure you read around in the forum and in articles or resources online on how to configure KIS to your needs, or just familiarize yourself with its functions, if you haven't already. Knowing your security software is a giant step in securing your computer!

Backups are stored on an external HD

Just found a thread with configs for KIS and have followed that apart from adding a protected folder which looked a bit complex so will leave this for the moment.
