Thanks for sharing your config!! Just a question, how do you use Bitdefender as a second-opinion scanner? As a bonus, I would add these just in case.

• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware https://www.malwarebytes.org/
• HitmanPro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
• Web of trust https://www.mywot.com/
• HTTPS Everywhere https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/https-everywhere/gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp?hl=en
• Emsisoft Emergency Kit http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/eek/
• And finally, Adwcleaner https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Cheers

I would install MBAM and keep it up to date just in case of infection. not on demand scanner.
I would install Qihoo 360IS instead of Avira. we found it very effective AV. I don't know if it will work on opera.

I would agree with the above suggestions.ADW Cleaner is a nice tool to have around in case you need it.
I would uninstall Bitdefender and use the on demand scanners suggested.
Other than that your config looks good!!

Just a question, how do you use Bitdefender as a second-opinion scanner?

It may be one of many Bitdefender tools, or Bitdefender Quickscan which is available as a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome.

Hello dhwan. As you browse using Opera, here's a method to harden your privacy:
Begin by going to "Settings".

1. Select "Privacy & Security"
2. Scroll down to Cookies.
3. Mark "Keep local data only until I close my browser"
4. Check the box "Block third-party cookies and site data.."

• Use "New Private Window" often for it deletes browser history & data upon closing windows.

LastPass is an extension that will work within each of your browsers which will add encryption security with an ease of handling & generating more secure (formerly hard to remember) passwords. Read more about it here. www.lastpass.com

Thank you for your attention, as well as sharing your configuration. I like it!

Good config. You can take a look at the suggestions given. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jamescv7]

Seems a bit pale on the configuration unless you are not always lurking to unknown websites.

You may add Sandboxie from your browsing habits.

Optimized addons combination: Avira web filter + Adguard or Adblock Plus + Https Everywhere

Your description is very vague, so which Bitdefender product are you using?

Bitdefender Free Antivirus, Antivirus Plus, Internet Security, and Total Security cannot be used for a second-opinion as all product have real-time modules. They are supposed to be running all the time.

Avira is very good at detection, but I do not like much like that "alone", I would accompany it of a firewall with HIPS as Comodo or Privatefirewall.

Thank you for sharing, kind regards

window firewall is not enough?

 

[Sr. Normal]

window firewall is not enough?

It is sufficient, but it does not have many options, as your antivirus.
In your combination, in my humble opinion, Sanbox and HIPS is absent. If you do not want to change the antivirus, you should change the firewall.
I have Qihoo 360 TS + Windows Firewall and these services that you lack, my antivirus covers them. And though I am very satisfied, I am thinking of changing my firewall into other one that he considers to be surer for me.

ok, I will try PrivateFirewall. Or Comodo Firewall is better maybe?

 

[Sr. Normal]

Privatefirewall is excellent and very very light, but I think that it is not updated.
Comodo is excellent also, has Sandbox (Privatefirewall not) and there is thousand tutorials in the network for setup it since want.
I leave you a couple of links that I think that you will like to help yourself to choosing
