Here is my setup. I use online banking and credit card on internet so I need strong protection. All my softwares are selected to run together without conflict and i set them for a great compatibility. I’m deciding now what to add new. Recommendations are well accepted.

I would replace FSecure and SAS with ESET Online Scanner.

ESET O.S is far superior to FSecure, while SAS is no longer what it used to be and MBAM should do the job anyway.

Swap EAM with EEK (unless you have disabled its processes).

ASC is enough, no need for Wise Care 365.

Other than that, since you have appguard and shadow defender, you can easily get by with Comodo Internet Security (full suite), as opposed to Kaspersky Pure + Comodo Firewall.

Depending on your rig/system, Kaspersky can be problematic as in resource usage, I/O and CPU.

Since you do Online banking, you can get by with a keylogger protection and such but your config is a bit of overkill in some areas while others are normal.

hi. very strong config, remind me my old days ^^

i just observed that you have Pure (that had a Firewall & HIPS and comodo FW ( Firewall & HIPS).

you should know that installing 2 firewalls and 2 HIPS is an opened door to conflicts because the drivers and system unstability

if you have Pure, comodo is not needed.

Good, only a thing.. Comodo FW with PURE? O__O Really think that the Comodo FW is best that of the PURE? If have the 2 activated disactivate 1 beacause is very probably that cause a lot of incompatibilities.

Take care.

I had disabled disabled Kaspersky Firewall and I only use Comodo Firewall. On the other hand It seems to me that Defence+ not conflict with Kasperky proactive module.

Ok. I installed a trial of Nod 32. As I haven’t use it for many years I would know if in your opinion it’s very good.

Could me suggest a good keylogger?

What is EEK?

Kaspersky run very well and light on my system and I would’t change my AV.

you disabled the firewall but the drivers are still there. Also you still have 2 HIPS, it SEEMS to work correctly now but sooner or later, conflicts will rise when an infection will arise.

So i still suggest you to remove Comodo or just use Kaspersky AV.

EEK: Emsisoft Emergency Kit, portable version of EAM specialized in infected systems.

Umbra

do you think it be useful to use Emisoft Antimalware as secondary real time antivirus?

It would be useful to switch from Swadow Defender to toolwiz time freeze?

ESET is good if it suites your need.
Both Umbra and I have been using ESET, we both threw in Emsisoft Anti malware into the mix, and while Umbra moved to EAM combo, I went back to ESET simply because I am a gamer.

Plus, I have used every version of ESET apart from version 4 which I skipped completely.

Kaspersky has more features but I don't really see the need for myself so I use ESET.

Only using the trial will let you know if ESET fits your needs.

Would you recommend ESET suite instead of NOD 32?

I am fine with windows 7 firewall so I personally use the AV module only as opposed to Smart Security which has Firewall and Parental control.

To be honest, i always recommend the version with least features: NAV/KAV/ESET AV/WSA AV/EAM due to being more than enough.

Only exception would be CIS and even so, as a gamer, I tend not to have CFW installed.

I jump always between Comodo, ESET and AVG. Depending on my mood I go AV less.


You can see my personal recommendations on the last page of my config thread (signature) since my current config does not have On Demand scanner etc.
