Any suggestions please

looks good to me. You have some pretty good on-demand scanners there.

If you download malware i would suggest you use some virtualization software.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your suggestion i hope avast with hardened mode & HIPS enabled + Windows standard user login will do the needful anyway i am not executing any malware samples

i am not executing any malware samples

An experienced malware hunter in this forum (sorry, I forget his ID...) ever mentioned that in the past, he once executed a large number of viruses by mistake when he moved malware samples between his devices.

I think we may also make such mistake when we play with malwares, although we believe that we will never execute the malware samples.

So, in my opinion, I think it would be a good try to use a virtual machine when we play with the malwares.

Excellent config.

Here are some suggested virtual machine software:

VMware Workstation Player

VirtualBox by Oracle

I was also fan of ben10 once, now I like dragon ball super

Apart, awesome configuration check out doctor kerish, running it once, two to three weeks makes my system really smooth :')

Nice gonfig.

I don't want to be boring but, as said by other members, it is necessary to create a virtualized environment if you play with malware,
Do not run malware doesn't mean working safely because personally I involuntarily started a malware after extraction and fortunately Shadow Mode was active.

Well, I think it is a very good configuration, light, simple, but very efficient, congrats!!

Only a little tip: install also PrivaZer, which works really good among with CCleaner, and then, choose also a second browser.

Thanks for sharing it, @Ben10

So far so good to your configuration, all layers covered especially on demand scanners.

You may consider to have a backup program to create system image snapshot (3rd party) or use the built in from Windows.

Any suggestions please

Good config, avast! is always a good choice, you should add Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and Zemana Anti-Logger (paid or free) hope this helps

Also, I forgot to mention Reason Core Security it classified as a trojan by HitmanPro and Ad-Aware

@Anti-Malware Reviewer: Then its a false positive , Reason Core is developed from the makers of Unchecky (a tool that automatically disabled those bundled 3rd party programs upon installation of your favourite programs)

Thanks for telling me I wasn't saying it was a trojan I was just saying some AV's class it as one - I am going to upload it to virus total - Unchecky is good but on that line, on VirusTotal some say it's a PUP? You're right it probably is a FP

@Anti-Malware Reviewer:For its an assumption since Reason Core have their feature called Bundled Protection that disabled any programs that includes to be adware or grayware, hence some AV detects it as PUP.
