Too much real-time protection software may cause conflict I recommend you to use one product as real-time protection.

Updated original post, slightly different setup now...

And what exactly is it you think would be conflicting in my config ?

IMO, not all your real-time protection has a purpose.

Before:
NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro, MSE, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, Zemana AntiLogger, Winpatrol Plus, Windows Firewall Control, Microsoft EMET, Sandboxie

After:
NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro, MSE, Windows Firewall Control, Microsoft EMET, Sandboxie

Changes:
Uninstall Zemana AntiLogger because "I trust the software on my PC".
Revert MBAM to Free, for on-demand scanning. Else, also uninstall, "I'm not at risk for infection".
Uninstall WinPatrol Plus, I don't need to be monitored, I don't need your assistance.

Above is an example for the changes I would consider making.

Hi Earth!


Well that is your opinion which i do not share, all the programs you mention are designed to run alongside an AV and yes each serves a particular purpose to me so thanks but no thanks, they are here to stay.

Browser Addons: Adblock Plus(EasyList+EasyPrivacy+Malware Domains), Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, LastPass, Bitdefender TrafficLight

You i´ll see it is enough keep only the Donottrackme and Adblock (not the plus) extensions instead Ghostery and anothers.

The Wot or TrafficLight are importants on Browser Addons, but i prefer the trafficlight.
You have no AV real-protection like the Windows defender or another else.
I have the Windows defender and i´m afraid to replace another because can be reeinstall again windows 8 pro.

Hello Mikey, I understand.

Although shouldn't that be Windows Defender, because MSE won't run on Windows 8.

Hey i agree with Earth, u must keep only the softwares which are essential, no need to get monitored because u can do it on ur own, so why u allow 3rd party apps do so...
My suggestions is just use a single powerfull antivirus app and use a firewall app, thats it, u will be secured.
