Zemana AntiLogger is better suited for real-time.

Zemana AntiLogger is better suited for real-time.
I used to do Avast + Zemana Logger for protection for awhile. However, with just Avast I had a pretty good non-infected period. Not entirely sure if the system impact is worth it though.. (I am a game,r and my computer is already a potato so I need as much system resources as I can get, while staying secure of course!) If you do really recommend it I could go back on it.
Appreciate the suggestion!

What about something like AdNauseam that clicks ads in the background?
Very strong config. Avast + Zemana work toquether perfectly.

If you don't use it, uninstall and put on another PC.

Looks good to me, thanks for sharing your config.Here is my config for 2017! Happy late new year everybody! Suggestions are welcome! Have a good day.
Just add HTTPS Everywhere, and maybe add a better backup software, such as Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.
Thanks for sharing.

Does it give content creators revenue though? What does it do? I don't really understand.
Very strong config.
Thanks for sharing
Ok. I guess I can try them both out again together..
I believe you don't need ZAM /ZAL when you use tweaked avast because it won't improve much your protection. Just some signatures for non-zero-day malwares undetected by avast => less work for hardened mode (prone to false positives)

Going to go with @Evjl's Rain 's suggestion of using Avast. Might try adding Zemana again sometime.
ADDED HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome (Not final..)

Windows 10 Avast(tweaked) & Windows Firewall is a powerful combo on it's own.
Very nice config! Thanks for sharing it with us

Hey guys for the past few days I have been thinking. hardeningwindows10forsecurity.com I briefly looked at this guide and thought it was interesting. Anyone here on the forum use it or recommend it? I have the time to do it but I am more of a gamer. (Steam usually updates games so I don't know what to do.) You think my current setup is good enough or should I format and try this..
Basically it's designed to muddle and obfuscate your interests. The idea is that it clicks on every ad on the page, regardless of what said ad is attempting to sell/promote so that the algorithm behind interest-based advertising doesn't really know what you like/dislike, it just sees you clicking absolutely everything. I like the idea in theory but it's not an effective way of combating it. There are so many other means of gathering information on you by ad agencies. Cookies, fingerprinting, local/session storage, third-party scripts, sentiment analysis and more.
Site seems to be dead, for me at least.Hey guys for the past few days I have been thinking. hardeningwindows10forsecurity.com I briefly looked at this guide and thought it was interesting.

Well I guess it is because I copied it wrong. Harden Windows 10 - A Security Guide. How to secure Windows 10 Sorry about that!
I gave it a skim over (don't have the time right now to read the entire thing); it's pretty extensive and I'd argue completely overkill. I do agree with some stuff in there, but a lot of it is completely unnecessary. No need to start disabling different protocols and ports and services to try and reduce your attack surface.Well I guess it is because I copied it wrong. Harden Windows 10 - A Security Guide.
