hi good config, i suppose you are using Windows Firewall? any backup softs?

I see you are using two realtime protections : mse and avira free??? this means trouble : one will bite the other!! in order to be protected well , remove mse ( because lack of features and low detection rates ) and keep avira free! thanks

Not sure if there will be compatibility issues by my recommendation is either stick to Avira or MSE as RT protection.

Unless OP means Windows Defender as opposed to MSE.

Pairing MSE with AVIRA will not bring you anything extra to the table apart from some more RAM and services usage.

On On-Demand scanners, MBAM is more than enough. If you wish to have a second opinion scanner, add Hitman Pro (scanner only which is free) and ditch SAS since it is not what it used to be and what SAS detects, MBAM is sure to detect and has better removal capabilities.

Finally, consider adding a backup solution free:

*Built in windows 7 backup solution, which will allow you to mount the VHD as an actual drive to retrieve specific folders/files or restore completely the backup;
*Paragon Backup and Recovery Free (2nd option I recommend if the user does not wishes to use the windows 7 solution)
*EaseUS Todo Backup Free
*Macrium Reflect Free

also its best to ditch superantispyware because its technology is miles behind malwarebytes also you might want to add bitdefender traficlight as adon for f.f. this is one of the best webpage scanners and you can ad keyscrambler as adon also , this encrypts your keystrokes , making it harder for keyloggers to steal your sensitive data!

Only thing that I can suggest to add is Lastpass for Firefox. Apart from that everyone covered everything.

I've heard that MSE is compatible with other av's, is this true at all?
