Recommended to update to SP1 for Windows 7.

Bitdefender Total Security includes SafePay that allows a secure browser environment for online banking and shopping. For this reason, you could uninstall Zemana Anti-Logger. If you used ZAL for it's HIPS-like feature, Bitdefender has it's own IDS called Active Virus Control.

You may want to use another on-demand scanner, such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Currently, I recommend using version 1.75, as their latest release has shown to be buggy.

System Restore may not work effectively with security products installed, for example, System Restore will fail with Avast installed. In Windows 7 you can create a System Image and Recovery Disk. Remember to keep local copies of your documents, photos and music.

A suggestion for IE11, you can use TPL (Tracking Prevention Lists), http://www.iegallery.com/en-gb/trackingprotectionlists or from http://fanboy.co.nz/ie.html . IE11 has an enhanced version of Protected Mode, called EPM for short, read more http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn265025(v=vs.85).aspx

To sum it up:
- Update to Service Pack 1
- Optionally replace Zemana Anti-Logger with Bitdefender SafePay
- Optionally install Malwarebytes as an on-demand scanner
- Create alternate methods for system and data recovery
- Add TPL to IE11

Im sorry I should of took a little more time when I posted this I was trying to get it done real quick cause I was heading to work.
- Update to Service Pack 1 ( I have it installed
- Optionally replace Zemana Anti-Logger with Bitdefender SafePay ( safepay Is very good and it came with 2014 bitdefender total sec )
- Optionally install Malwarebytes as an on-demand scanner ( I have Malwarebytes installed just need to turn it on ) I also use hitman pro
- Create alternate methods for system and data recovery ( I have my original windows 7 pro disk but will create a Recovery Disk for sure
- Add TPL to IE11 (I use TRUSTe ) also I use epic browers and cyberfox from time to time and comodo dragon.

thank you for the advice and my next goal is get a Recovery Disk made.
