I would like to suggest a backup solution for you. Give either Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper, both have a good free and reliable for you to use.

if it whas up to me I would definately get rid of AVG PcTuneup. reason for me saying this is because this program is pure snakeoil , noting useful : a placebo. you are better of with ccleaner and if you want to pay for an optimisation suite , kerish doctor is the only one worth paying for! get rid of the avast safeprice extension and add https everywhere and privacy badger as extensions , if you do not have an adblocker extension get ublock origin.

thanks for your suggestions..ive installed privacy badger. i read about privacy badger and ublock origin but i dont know the differences between them and the real function. oh and i use avg only because its has live optimization feature, i used system mechanic before but the trial has expired.

 

[FrFc1908]

system mechanic is even worse than AVG PcTuneup

lucky the trial has expired haha XD

I would add ZAM Free and MalwareBytes.

Replace Adblock with uBlock Origin.

Add HTTPS Everywhere.

Follow suggestions about backups, it is very important.

Thanks for sharing.

something bad with avast safeprice? right now i have 6 extensions installed in chrome which is AdBlock (the hand sign and red background, not adblock plus), IDM, avast safeprice, avast link scanner, youtube hd, and privacy badger. if i installed junk extension just let me know, i will remove them

I would add ZAM Free and MalwareBytes.

Replace Adblock with uBlock Origin.

Add HTTPS Everywhere.

since i already installed avast, can i just install malwarebytes only for the second layer protection?
and for the backup solution, i found a software called Juzt-Reboot Pro. is it okay? it is lightweight and easy to manage

 

[JM Safe]

Juzt-Reboot Pro

I don't know this software, I think the best free backup solutions are Macrium or AOMEI Backupper, but if it works well for you, then use it.

Well you could also add only MalwareBytes, I suggested also ZAM because it's one of the most used on-demand scanners, but it's up to you.

 

[FrFc1908]

for secure backup just use macrium reflect free avast safeprice is just adware. ublock origin is better than adblock , because it is more advanced and well maintained.you do not need mbam as a realtime protection , it is only worth as having it a a secondary on demand scanner! you can ad emsisoft emergency kit as an ondemand scanner also

 

[Myrul Jihyn]

ondemand scanner

on demand scanner is a scanner when user use it right? correct me if im wrong. im a newbie and a noob too hahaha XD

This has been brought up already, but sheesh, no backups. I get it though, backups are like insurance. You don't think you need it till you do, at that point it's too late.

I also get that it's a painful process. Like clipping my dogs nails, or doing my laundry, I just don't like backing up the computer.

Here's what I recommend, grab Rollback Rx Home Edition. It's freeware, so download away. That's your data backup. Then grab Macrium Reflect, that's your system backup. That's also free. Now you have a system and data backup, and it costs you nothing. Pat yourself on the shoulder meatbag.

If you like it, you can always upgrade to Rollback Pro and Drive Cloner Rx, and that compatibility is nice, for $100 I think it's worth it but leave it to you.

Otherwise, what firewall are you using? Did I miss that?

First and foremost implement some type of system & data backup solution.
Real time protection is not an on demand scanner therefore consider adding an on demand scanner(s).
CCleaner is more than enough.Consider replacing AVG Tune Up with CCleaner.
Replace ABD with uBlock Origin.
Thanks for sharing your config

You can remove Privacy Badger. uBlock Origin covers ad & tracker blocking.

 

[FrFc1908]

get rid of easeus todo backup and replace it with macrium reflect free.macrium reflect is better and far more reliable. for maintanance : wisecare free , bleachbit and privazer.

 

[JHomes]

Faronics Deep Free Standard

Huh? Deep Freeze is a public access/lab pc restore utility. Just curious why you would put that on a machine which I would assume is for your own private use.
