Nice config. Personally I'd remove SASPy Free(Superantispyware).. you have MBAM free and HitmanPro. Both can do the job well. No need for SASpy. On the adblocker just use one of your choice as it may affect browsing speed. Just my two cents :)

Thank you for sharing your configuration which I like for similar & positive reasons as the tips our fellow members/friends have given, and sharing some favorite apps & extensions that have been tried and personally proven through testing themselves.;) Deciding which adblocker or which sandboxing program you prefer is always better when seeing and trying them for yourself. I use each of the blockers mentioned (respectively) and they all do the job quite well, though in slightly different ways ultimately to the same end!:) I recommend Sandboxie, but am using Comodo's sandbox for the very first time today!:):)
*Update: If you remove Comodo Firewall, and need a sandboxing program:
One of our household's favorite, and most widely used free extensions is a password manager called LastPass. It utilizes the same encryption security used by the military. You can read more at the developer's site.

Good to know that someone use Gdata besides of a bit large file size installer ;)

In my view you don't need Bitdefender Trafficlight as your web shield AV will provide detection.

And for backup you may expand through cloud by just uploading none sensitive files.

Thanks forse your Precious advice.
I use lastpass and that configuration of chrome you indicated me. ..I forgot to say it
When you say Gdata 2105, do you mean the anti virus or internet security suite? If the latter, i would recommend removing CFW "comodo firewall". Other then this, it looks good.
I Mean antivirus.

in fact I dont like upload any sensitive Files on the cloud..I dont use it.
I like gdata is fast in every Kind of scan and Last 2 version are lighter thank previous. My pc boot is Not too slow. Only one negative things: false positive for program such as utorrent,mirc and etc.

my gdata licence is going to expiring and my father has a giveaway licence of Emsisoft that he isn't using and would give it to me.
so I'm asking your opinion.

This is what I would do:
Both Gdata and Emsisoft are very good,if not excellent.
But,I would take Emsisoft for two reasons:

1.My father would be pleased cos I took his offer and said thank you.If my papa would be happy,I would too.At this moment my papa is not with me,and I am sorry I wasn't more kind to him when he was alive...
2.I would save some money

Hi guys, I just modified my configuration.
I switched to Emsisoft anti-malware 10 beta, and I noticed an improvement of my pc's performance...faster boot,faster scan( complete scan in 40 minutes, malware scan in 6 minutes, quick scan in 3 minutes) and no slow down in any moment.
good interface and very nice graphics.
no high use of ram or cpu, even during scan.
I installed Hitman pro alert.

what do you think about?
