I don't have anything in value to lose, in fact if everything happened i am planning to change to Linux Mint Thanks for the recommendation!

 

[JM Safe]

If you change idea about Linux, please follow @SumTingWong suggestion.

 

[Windows_Security]

Running standard user is good, using the software restriction policies of your Windows Pro makes it better.

Changed my AV to Webroot cause it is way more lightweighted than Immunet although i am not so sure of the protection due to hub results, relying totally on VS.

Change Webroot to DrWeb Katana.The reason, i don't trust Webroot after all tests and reviews i saw, failed and failed again.Katana is non-signature (more like HIPS) and even in Paranoid mode is extremely lightweight,i think it's a good pair with VS,like it so far!

 

[Nestor]

Removed DrWeb Katana, i want to take the risk and stay only with VS (always ON mode) for real time protection.I am convinced it's more than enough to keep a system safe,at least for my habits.

Added HMPA to Voodooshield(my last change),considering some topics on MT for better exploit protection.I admit it is more lightweight from what i thought!Big plus, keystroke protection.

you probably never need an anti-exploit as a home user or if so, I don't trust HMPA because it's not good against network attack

when you need an anti-exploit the most, they will miss the attack

Ι paired it with VS to close some tiny weakness holes (at least in my mind) on VS,so far i liked the key encryption, maybe useful for online banking.

I think it's important about the copies.
For the rest I think its configuration is very good.

Please consider using Macrium Reflect for backups, this is great protection against Ransomware and a fundamental for your computers security setup.

Remove HMPA
Remove Voodooshield :Although it is a very good product, i was tired from continuously prompts to every single unkown file(not malicious). i installed Thor Home Foresight and it prompts 23 times during the installation for unkown files.If a product prompts to anything, it misses the point and maybe will lead you in the future to make a mistake.
Install Avast free (Hardened Mode): Good protection,lightweight, but it has a bug,if you choose Aggresive mode from the old settings then Hardened mode, turned off only in virus section of the new settings.
Install Thor Foresight Home:Like it so far,with Darklayer Guard blocking some exploit traffic,but it has a major Con,it is useless if you use a VPN.

Use always hardener mode aggresive at Avast and tweaks from Evjl's Rain. For extra protection combo with syshardener or OSArmor.
