You have too much running in real time in my opinion. SAS isn't not needed alongside Avast, nor is Prevx in my opinion. I know they say you can run it alongside another AV but my question is why? There is such a thing as overkill. At the very least disable SAS's real time protection.
 
ThreatFire can be removed...Avast has a behavior blocker and also Online Armor will secure you PC better then any BB.
Also go to OA settings and enable :
"Run safer unknow programs by default"
Go here and read all about "Run Safer"

Your setup seems secure in terms of security (except for the extra real-time programs).

Are you concerned about online privacy?
(If so see here)

Avast and Online Armor is fine enough, just removed threatfire.

I would also consider setting up ClearCloud DNS on your router, if not, on your machine. Also, I would remove the link checker, and WoT. If you think you're not sure about what sites to visit that are safe (none really, but more than others, like warez sites), then I would keep WoT, but it's really quite old technology.
 
Using AVAST 6.0 + OA and i forgot to tell that i use ClearCloud DNS. How do i know if the sandbox works? (AVAST 6.0)?
 
Well sandbox will work if a file was detected using heuristics, a popup will tell you if you will open in sandbox or not.
 
As far as I know Emsisoft Antimalware and Emsisoft Emergency Kit Scanner share the same definitions. Same thing with CIS and Comodo Cleaning Essentials.

I need a backup / rollback software - you got any suggestions?

I use Disk Imaging applications. Acronis True Image WD Edition, to be exact. You can use it for free but in only works if you have a Western Digital HDD on your system. Another good free disk imaging application is Paragon Backup and Recovery (Advanced) Free. I don't have nothing against rollback software but I find disk imaging to be more reliable.
 
Free backup:

- Paragon B & R (as said bogdan)
- Easeus Todo Backup free http://www.todo-backup.com/business/free-backup.htm

both are good and free (i used both of them with a preference for Easeus)

Rollback:

- Shadow Defender (paid) http://www.shadowdefender.com/
- Returnil (free ) http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/

im using Shadow Defender
 
Thanks guys. I'll take a look.

My old config:
in realtime:
AVAST
SAS
PREVX
THREATFIRE
OA

On demand:
MBAM
CCE

i like my new configuration better :) The old were kinda overkill in realtime.
 
overkill and ressources hog ^^

dont forget to have a look on how to configure CIS (very important )
 
that is normal if you had less means you have a configuration mistake somewhere ^^
