Looks good!
What version of KIS are you running? 2017?
With KIS & VoodooShield running in real time you are more than covered.
Personally I would use ZAL as on demand as I have a similar setup and use ZAL as on demand.
You could probably remove Spybot & Malware Hunter from your on demand scanners.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Hi!

I like your confing but there are some things which I would change.
First of all I don't see the point of using two adblockers and the second thing is Spybot - I would rather remove it as it's rather weak compared to the rest of your on demand tools.

zemana is recently complained for having 2 persistently working .sys files in drivers folder which can slow down the system or do something shady. They persist even after we completely terminate the processes
I suggest you can whitelist them so KIS may use a bit less resource (C:\windows/system32/drivers/zamguard64.sys and zam64.sys)
Or you can get rid of ZAL. KIS + VS are more than enough
those files would still work after uninstalling all zemana products

Sorry for the late reply I've only just checked the responses :) Yes I'm using KIS 2017 & I agree that KIS & VoodooShield is enough and I could just use ZAL as a demand scanner, that isn't a bad idea. I also do plan on removing the two demand scanners you have listed. Thanks for reading!

Technically there's no need to use two adblockers but I AdGuard does block some malicious links which is why it's there. And I will be removing Spybot soon. Thanks for reading!

Good setup nothing else I suggest remove spybot, as the other members have mentioned, thanks for sharing :)

Thanks to everyone who has read the setup/config & also thanks for all the recommendations :D
