have you turned on UAC to max ( always ask ) ? you can add malwarebytes anti exploit , voodooshield. remove adblock plus and wot , and replace with adguard ( includes wot ) , https everywhere. I would not use tencent , its not that great : avast , 360 ts or avira or panda free are better options av wise

you can ad privazer for more privacy and zenmate or hola or cyberghost as vpn browser plugins to get even more privacy! ad unchecky this app unchecks unwanted software in installer bundles.

I add one more browser like firefox. and change av to avast, avira avg or 360 TS, free options.

Panda is very good, see how it does on our Malware Hub.

Switch to a reputable AV vendor. Remove WOT from your browser.

First thing first, backup is always important no matter what will happen to your system. (Create system image with built in Windows feature or third party like Macrium Reflect or AOIMEI backup)

Second, conduct dangerous test in a isolated environment like Virtual Machine or another computer or fully virtualized system like Shadow Defender (paid/trial) or Toolwiz Time Freeze (free);/ just choose one.

i totally agree with James advices.

@Mostafa Elbadry : It has real time scan, there's a difference on detecting by write and read. If you will try to hover a file or make a single click on the file then it should detect unless try to execute it.

panda free antivirus only detect the malware on execute if i didn't it leave the malware

Try Bit defender Free and see if you can do any better with it. Bty - no AV is 100%.

panda free+ private firewall is better than panda is. private firewall got a hips module so if panda free miss a sample most likly the hips modul in private firewall will alert u if the malware want to make any changes to the system. And yes,pandas web filter is good. if u want to use it in the free version u need to install the toolbar but after that u can uninstall the toolbar and the web modul is still installed and active.

Hi, I can suggest you to install also Collusion extension for your browser, which allows you to know which websites are tracking you!
This is very important.
Thanks for sharing your configuration
