Out of curiosity:
Real-time Malware Protection:
Emsisoft Anti-Malware + Comodo Firewall, Zemana AntiMalware Premium, Zemana AntiLogger Premium, Heimdal PRO

EAM + CFW should be enough, tossing in Heimdal Pro (I assume you have their malware component turned off?)

I do not really see the need to overkill the RT protection, even if your system can run them fine.

If you had a weak AV, then ZAMP, ZALP could be justified.

With the above combination, I would be more inclined to run ZAMP on On Demand, Heimdal PRO with the anti-malware protection off.

One recommendation since you use Edge: grab the 6 months trial of Adguard installer, and you are set for the browsers you are running.

EMSISOFT AM + Zemana Prem alone concerned me regarding confliction. Heimdal on top of that just feels overkill. If there's no confliction (even if minor) and he's able to handle it, it's fine I guess, but I don't feel why anyone would ever need that much real-time unless they're regular torrenters, or frequently visiting the dark web.

First of all, thank you for your comment. As I said, this configuration is meant to be maximum protection. In addition, the software is optimized according to need to avoid any conflicts. (EAM + Comodo Firewall + Heimdal + (ZAMP-ZALP)).. This combination of software and supports each other. (To avoid all conflicts it must be set by the user.) I'm studying Computer Engineering thats why i need it.

Good configuration. In what language did you write your password manager?

First of all, thank you for your comment. C#.Net ^^

Even on your studies there is overlaps on your rt protection. Eam has strong signatures rendering others pretty much useless in that field. Heidmal malware functions are limited as well.

Although all can be run in rt with proper exclusions made do not mean best protection is offered. You are better off plug other holes that you have left open instead if you want to cover all areas. One thing is being overkill and effective another is just overkill where there are overlaps everywhere.

First of all, thank you for your comment and thanks for the suggestion Additionally Edge plug-in. I agree with your comment. But I am quite comfortable with this system optimized by myself. 100% security is not possible with this configuration had a problem until now.
