[QUOTE="kev216, post: 774027, member: 26237"] No, most configs I see here are overkill. Often people combine programs because they protect against another buzzword (like ransomware, exploits etc), but it doesn't necessarily protect very well against it and even if it does, they forget to ask the question what the chance is to encounter such malware in real life computer usage. In the end it's all a matter of taste. I personally like simplicity and lightness, but other might need/want to get a combination of certain products. [/QUOTE]
