I have a full version of Malwarebytes Anti- Malware Premium and Spy Shelter Premium that I once won. I test Zemana Anti-Malware. I really like WinPatrol. I think MCShield is useful because it protect against infections from pendrive. I installed many software in my computer. I rarely clean an errors in Windows Registry and I think it's correct. I think I have a good protection. Last time, when I scan my computer, using ZAM it detect many viruses but I think it was false positive... Because my computer working well, especially when I unistalled Power Archiwer 2013 and I converted it into a WinRar (earlier I had problem with Windows Explorer). Now I use Firefox stable (and another portable), Cyberfox, PaleMoon, Slim Boat, Slim Browser, SlimJet and Yandex..

Now I will install a many different software's because I have a new system.

Edit: I my opinion my PC is not at risk; because I enabled SmartScreen and UAC with default settings. I do automated backup with a built-in tool; backup is created daily, every hour, on the second disk- because I don't changing this settings.

Because I live with my Mom, who don't even can turn on my computer or her laptop I don't will protect my account with password.

I protect my WiFi network using MAC address filtering. Probably I will change password on configuration page of my rooter because I think is to simply. :(

Edit 2: I only use Firefox and Internet Browser based on him; I don't like Google Chrome and Browser like that. I have many software in my computer, many games, but everything works fine.

Hello :)

Per suggestions, no problem in your security program installed however backup and recovery is a must which that will be your final resort option if once there wan an emergency attack and none of the tools can solve. ;)

UAC is your primary defense in order to aware any programs to access with your user permission
 
Hello jota13,

Just a suggestion...

Avast free, Spy Shelter Premium, WinPatrol, Zone Alarm Free, MCShield = Comodo Internet Security (free).

Your config covers everything. However, how is resource consumption\compatibility?
 
Hjlbx, CPU usage is low, because I have 3 GB RAM. But when I scan my computer using ZAM is a bigger, and speed of my net is slower, especially when this software do a scan in cloud. And when I scan my computer using Avast Free CPU usage is bigger but I think this is normal.

Once I used Comodo Firewall Free and was a compatibility problem with Spy Shelter Premium, especially when I wanted to play the game, because these softwares have a option to block keylogger and when both were active my system freeze. It passed when I disable anti-keylogger in Comodo Firewall. And I think that Spy Shelter Premium is very good.

Before I used Avira Free Anti- Virus but when it showed me a very insistent advertising, which I could not close, I unistalled Avira. When I tried install Comodo Anti- Virus but I was an error because it damaged this Firewall...Unfortunately I don't created system restore point before I tried to install Comodo Anti- Virus and I stayed without firewall and anti- virus. And when I installed Avast Free and Zone Alarm Free.

I think Zone Alarm Firewall is better than nothing. And it working well.

Little change: I used Zemana AntiMalware but I uninstalled it. End I use SecureAPlus, without offline antivirus. And I also use Adguard Premium, I won it annual license.
 
I need Spy Shelter Premium because I need good anty- keylogger. Recently, by mistake, I installed second anti- virus: Emsisoft Anti- Malware but it working well with Avast Free... In Avast I added this software to the exceptions.

I really like to test different security software. :)

I agree with you
 
thanks for sharing your config but I realy think it's way too much! realy an overkill of security products.
 
You should keep Malwarebytes Anti- Exploit and Anti-Malware for ptoection at least. Avast is also a good one to keep other than that just use them as ODS or something.
 
Tornado, yes, when I had Windows 7 I had an infections, because I got bad mail, with malware link and I clicked on this link ... Then I opened that link in my Internet browser. I started to get blue screens of death. :( Then, at a computer forum I handed logs from FRST and they was checked by professionals. They discovered an infection in my computer and it removed. My computer again started to work well.

Now I don't click on links in suspicious emails, I just delete them.

@J Gamez065, I really don't need password protection of my account, because I'm the only user of my computer.

I don't need UAC, because I have Spy Shelter Premium and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall with HIPS. Also I use Emsisoft Anti- Malware.

I think I don't need smartscreen protection.

@Duotone, I got infected when I had Windows 7. Now I use Windows 10. I don't have any infection. Since December I use Windows 10.

Yes I think I have good processor: Intel Core i3-4160, with 8 GB RAM.

I believe that my computer isn't compromised.

Hackers are able to access the computer if you don't have a password. UAC and Smartscreen protection run at kernal level and tell you of something bad that may be running in background. Am I right @Umbra ?
