In Google Chrome I used: ScriptNo (or something like that), WOT, Flash Control, McAfee Web Advisor, Adblock Plus, TrackMeNot, Right Click and translate, Dr. Web Anti- Virus Link Checker, unshorten it, Java Script Popup Blocker, Flag for Chrome, etc., etc.... It was good browser. But with bad auto-update services.

I don't have this problem... I see how much data stay to end, and how much it will take time. I just downloaded nice fruit desk-theme-pack to test this. (Probably this theme better works on Windows 8 but I like it. I had problem with menu start and centrum of action when I use old themes. When I should relogin. :( )

There is a script to turn off google auto update. Search in google and you will find it.
If you like firefox perhaps cyberfox I believe is the name is for 64bit.

As for adguard I have the https option disabled as well.

I personally only use one extension on my browsers and that's an adblock. Did use greasemonkey for awhile with two custom scripts but in the end found no need for it. In the end the least I have the easier to maintain my system for gaming.

Inkurax, I also use Cyberfox and Palemoon- I installed these Browsers. And I also have all portable versions of Firefox; Pale Moon, and CyberFox.

Inkurax, I know that I using Autoruns I can disable Google Update services... I'm not an experienced user of this program. :oops:

I would rather use the feature I gave you but remember to check updates accordingly for chrome.
Autoruns is used to disable the service. Good tool but be careful with the tweaks.
If u need help we will help don't worry or you can choose to start a conversation with one user that you think he or she can help and you will get assistance.
I personally wouldn't us so many programs myself but that's because I'm mainly a gamer. There is nothing wrong however with your security programs. Some of us might suggest you to use this and that and tell you to remove a b and c but if it works for you and you are happy that is all that matters.

I uninstalled Comodo Firewall and I installed Xvirus Personal Firewall.

I uninstalled SecureAPlus Premium (because it worked like second HIPS) and Adguard Premium (I prefer it extension in Internet Browsers).

To many protection is bad idea.

What about just having Zemana for scanner?
Isn't it recommended to have anti-exploit protection?

Sorry Umbra but Malwarebytes AntiMalware isn't antivirus. McShield protect against infections from pendrive (stick) I often use them. ZemanaAnti Malware doesn't bother me. ;) I think it real protection is now better than after. WinPatrol: now I use it paid version, but later I probably keep it... I think Malwarebytes AntiExploit is good.

I really like Emsisoft AntiMalware. It rarely detects false positive on my system.

Umbra, thank you very much for your opinion about Xvirus Personal Firewall. :) I keep it. :)

I think that now I have adequate protection- without password protection of user account.

SpyShelter Premium protects against exploits, if I'm not mistaken.

Hmm, I really don't know ... It protect against screen logger, key logger, sound logger, etc.

What about just having Zemana for scanner?

Zemana AntiMalware Premium runs in the background and doesn't burden too much of my CPU.

Sorry for my poor English...

You are on Win10 , Windows Defender is enabled by default so, MBAM complement it. WD is far better than before, it include a new technology (AMSI). WD + MBAM is enough.
Anyway, the signature-based model is obsolete.

McShield protect against infections from pendrive (stick) I often use them.

You have Spyshelter's HIPS, it replaces all of them. MBAE free is worthless, it just protect browsers.
