You don't use ADGUARD Blocker AND ADGUARD premium at the same time, do you? Only need one, or the other. I obviously recommend the desktop app. Also, WOT is integrated into ADGUARD premium, so you don't need the WOT extension. That's really it. Thanks for sharing your config.

Thanks for the info :) , tho i read on the adguard site that the premium version and the extension do blend together:

Pasted from ADguardsite--"Can I use browser extension together with Adguard for Windows?
Yes, you can use a browser extension together with desktop version. In this case the extension will operate as “Adguard Assistant”" --

About the WoT extension just like the green marks it puts on safe links but other then that i guess its not needed since ADguard checks links already :p

Which Bitdefender product are you using? Configuration looks good though. Optional, but I suggest throwing on a second on-demand scanner to be safe.

I'm using the free version, had the payed Internet Suite till a few months ago but i found it packed with too much stuff i don't use and since the free version seems to do a good job i didn't see a point in spending more cash ;)

Add Malwarebytes Anti Exploit for added protection. Other than that great config.

From what I have heard the free version is still not compatible with Windows 10. Or has that changed recently?

It works Phoenix but it is a pain to get installed.
Some time back i had to download the Offline installer and tried 3 times before I got it to work.
So if you have thoughts on attempting an install, bring a bucket full of patience. lol

Nice config Naxxy and welcome to MT, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
