I would replace iobit products with auslogics defrag free and wisecare 365 free because of their shady mbam sigs past!

Enable UAC & Smartscreen
I agree that KTS is more than enough and update to 2017 if you have not done so already.
I would remove SAS & Spybot in favor of some better on demand options such as Zemana Antimalware,ESET Online Scanner,HMP,EEK
Thanks for sharing your config :)

I will remove SAS and Spybot, and turn on smartscreen, but I find UAC popup's very annoying :/

Thanks for everyone's input!

if you find UAC annoying, you can use this registry tweak
http://www.eightforums.com/attachme...nge-settings-windows-8-a-uac_never_notify.reg

this will prevent many processes to get elevated instead of everything with UAC completely off

consider replacing MBAM or just removing it. Use reason core should be good against PUPs. I think zemana is still one of the best against PUPs

Yeah, I am considering replacing MBAM with Zemana, but I don't know the product. Anyway, MBAM does seem to have lost its power through the years.

Does anyone see some improvements ?
- Enable User Access Control to Default
See: Why You Should Not Turn off UAC
In-depth: Why UAC is important and how it can protect you

- Enable Windows Smartscreen to On
Uses minimal resources, non-intrusive, notifies user before running unsafe applications.
See: How the SmartScreen Filter Works in Windows 8 and 10
Browser Tests Show Microsoft Edge Is More Secure than Google Chrome and Firefox

Do you use the Premium version of Reason Core Security?

I have now turned on smartscreen and UAC.(based on all the posts on this post)

I am not using the premium version because I only need the bundle protection from Reason Core. I use MBAM as second real time, but I am thinking about it to switch to Zemana Anti Logger Premium.

It's 2016, you can trust IObit. Also, if you paid for their products, you may as well keep them.

Pretty good config. Only change I'd make is add a snapshot tool (RollBack Rx or Comodo Time Machine) as a way of filling in those days between your weekly backups. You sometimes don't realize how important a daily snapshot can be.
