You don't need HMP. A BETA because you have MBAE, so here's the link to the BETA - bear in mind BETA's can cause serious problems and contain large bugs! the link is above in this thread

Which BitDefender product are you referring to, specifically?
Zemana Anti-Malware utilizes 10 different AV engines for scanning (including BitDefender) so I believe that replacing it with BitDefender will cause you to lose the protection from the extra 9 engines.
Also, the BitDefender security suites are known to have a large memory footprint (as far as I known, BitDefender may use a few hundreds of megabytes of RAM) so they are also not the lightest alternative to ZAM.

@J Gamez065: Zemana AM can be use as on demand scanner and disable the realtime protection instead, now in the case of AV they are some information about performance where resource is consume more resources compare to others.
Why not stick to Avast Free? it performs well on the system stability.

Why not use both? Because Zemana design to compatible with other antivirus suites.

ZAM is fairly good in my opinion. I am used to MBAM more though. I was recommended it so I decided to add it. But is my basic config of the Malwarebytes, Avast, and ZAM good enough?

The overall setup you mentioned is great. Reinforce it with proper surfing habits and you're good to go.

Sorry if everyone is getting sick of my blabbering but is there any way to backup my computer from a system image without spending $300 and not pirating?

Certainly. Here are some reliable, free system backup applications:
- Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (my personal favorite)
- AOMEI Backupper Standard
- Macrium Reflect Free
@J Gamez065 I have to admit your configuration is amazing The only thing you should do is turn User Account Control to 'Always Notify' because it runs at a kernel-level.

@J Gamez065: Windows 7 is still fine to use as your VM Test but for better performance and direct test of built in features then go for Windows 10.

Computer hs possibly kicked the bucket after I had printed and shut down computer. Booted up normal then did some HP Software Update restarted and computer is not working. Fairly positive wasn't suffering from an infection. Going to try to replace it. Anyone have any issues with Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomeware and or Zemana? Those were fairly new things added to config. I have also had people say that my config has too many things such as anti-virus and anti-malware and I should just choose one.
