Hello Mineria, I'd enjoyed catching up on where your system has been, and to where it's now arrived!!;):p
Your spoilers with disabled services/processes were impressive.

A lighter system is akin to a clean house! Windows 10 native security is what has kept my wife's system safe up until the day before yesterday and it's done a fine job. She's giving Norton a spin now.
A free security software you may already know something about is called VoodooShield. It serves up essential layers of security, and is quite compatible with Windows Defender & Firewall; and we use it on both our Windows 10 systems.:) I particularly like dragging an executable which is then scanned with VoodooShield quite similarly to Virus Total!

You can read more about it here:
Thank you for sharing, and inviting us to share too.:cool:

Hi Cats-4_Owners-2, thanks for the heads up.
I'm taking my chances to run without any additional security layer, still got over 2 years on both CIS and Hitman Pro Alert, and will probably check CIS 10 when it's out of beta, got a few things to throw at it to see if it slows them down, must be in the way they check for registry and file changes, but others security suites do have the same issue, even NIS.
Hitman Pro Alert needs to get it's USB keyboard check fixed, sometimes it even goes crazy when it isn't enabled, must be a bug or several bugs in the code.

Thank 'You' Mineria, sharing your own :oops:buggy experience with HMP Alert's :eek:keyboard encryption encouraged me in light of how neither of us are alone even in our (seemingly) solitary computing travails! I have chosen not to 'Can' Hitman Pro Alert (yet)o_O as this very morning I tried to use it's encryption feature while logging onto LastPass. Once more, since it did not function, I've disabled it. KeyScrambler (usually kept disabled) filled this role instead; and is indicating encryption of these very letters which I plainly see!:rolleyes: Most often Zemana Antilogger is in place, though I start it manually, plus I like seeing that something is working!;)

I have also been looking longingly toward the good ship Comodo as I've been hearing positive comments and impressions including your most recent here!:D
