Are you aware of your last infection, and methods to prevent that from re-occurring?

I Have the Malwarebytes Pro Real Time Protection, not the FRee Version
Malwarebytes Pro is good. I don't like software like Tuneup Security. You will get different opinions here on MT about these kind of programs. I'm not sure how your using Avira as a on demand scanner. There are better choices for on demand scanners and you never want more than one anti-virus program running in real time with MBAM. I'm sure you will get suggestions for on line scanners. I'll leave that to the pros here on MT
Here's what User Account Control Settings are!

Make sure UAC is enabled: Control Panel > System & Security > Action Center > Change User Account Control Settings
Suggest a Privacy program such as CCleaner or Privazer
Consider MBAM,Hitman Pro,Emsisoft Emergency kit for on demand scanner choices
With recent infection Sandboxie would be a good software to install and learn how to use
Some useful Chrome extensions :Adblock + or uBlock,HTTPS Everywhere,Wot ,Ghostery
Thanks for sharing your config :)
