Hi guys,
i've made the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro,
and i just installed only the Emsisoft AM and Ccleaner.
I don't no yet if is need to install MBAE (HMPA) or Kerish Doctor.......o_O
Im looking for a free replacement of WAR.......AppCheck, Vodooshield, NoVirusThank or anything else.
I have a Ranstop license but on Windows 7 it broke my system been irresponsive :mad:, very slow/slugish, only system restore helped......so far i don't want to make experience on W10.

Im a little bit confused .....i don't find the Smartscreen filter under IE 11 settings or Security & Maintenance only in gpedit (Computer Config../Administrative te.../Windows Com.../Microsoft Edge) i find "Windows Defender SmartScreen"....

Things look great! You can remove CCleaner and Kerish (this one, only if you use Kerish for cleaning) since Revo Pro provides cleaning.
You can shift VDS from the 'Frequent System Utilities' list to the 'Realtime protection' list.
Lastly, I will recommend using a Windows Firewall controller like Binisoft WFC or TinyWall or use a 3rd party FW like Zonealarm. Windows FW, unlike the popular opinion, ain't good enough for filtering traffic or overall network security.

Thanks, I switched VDS to realtime. For Ccleaner & Kerish i will keep this combo for the moment and for firewall control i was thinking at Comodo Firewall with @cruelsister settings.

Then you'd better do away with VDS :)
CFW will already be very powerful and adding EAM to it means enough. You won't need more additions.
I like keeping some system protection features and realtime failure detection in Kerish. That's all. I do manual cleaning, since however good a cleaner is, it can mess up the system in some way sometime. I rarely follow the average cleaning routine.
