Don't forget to remove the background service, when you no longer require McAfee Stinger.

It's not, keep it if you're using Stinger.

Since it's a run on-demand software, there's no uninstall entry in Programs and Features, and deleting the executable may not remove the service. I'm just letting you know about it.

It's supported, so you can optionally install EMET 4.1 on Windows 8.1.

Update:

Removed: ESET NOD32 Antivirus - Windows update issues.

I will try out avast free or CIS soon, but for now I'll stick with Windows Defender - Does a fine job and is light in resources. :) Any suggestions are welcome. :D

Funny how you're having issues with 3rd party security products, but none with Windows Defender. :D
Haha I should've listened to you sir. lol

Try avast! free & configure it, it offers very good protection.
Add Avira Browser Safety - Very awesome web-blocking.
I'll probably try Avira Browser Safety now. Thanks man!
