@Elba:
  • I would keep only BitDefender IS as real-time, and MalwareBytes for on demand (disabling its resident protection).
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, and/or in cloud services.
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free, EmsiSoft Emergengy Kit and HitManPro Free. Delete from this section BitDefender IS, since it is already Your real-time protection.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
  • An update to W10 also would be welcome, since Micrsoft will stop W7 support in 2020.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :giggle:
