Hi, this is more or less my config - because of security reasons I'd like not to share more details :D
I sue Norton Internet Security, ESET and Kaspersky Internet Security. Depends on which machine. Nothing all, just my brain as main security unit
Rgds.

qwer0, I respect your wish not to divulge your entire setup (at this time) for personal security reasons. I also agree with jamescv7, that by sharing more, we would have more to discuss.
I do recommend using secondary scanners as they do not interfere with your antivirus or firewall, and they are light and free methods of keeping your system malware free. I use:
  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/ (This is a gem!)
  2. HitmanPro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro (I've recently activated their 30 day trial);)
An Anti-Exploit (aka zero day threat) protection that is also free:
To activate protected mode in IE:
  1. Under tools (the sprocket wheel) choose Internet options
  2. From the tabs above, choose >> Security
  3. Below Security Level for this zone, check the box "Enable Protected Mode"
Check out an excellent free privacy software, CCleaner. It clears away temporary files safely, and clears cookies.
If you'd prefer their portable version extracted onto an external USB flash drive, scroll to the bottom of the download page & choose the Builds link.
PS Thanks for posting your configuration. Don't you love @Fedora 's cats?:p I think they're cousins to my own!:D

It would be nice if you could share a bit more information about your setup.There is no security/privacy worry in that.Thanks for sharing your config :)

Note: The object of this forum is to provide your fellow members with some insight into your PC setup since obviously that is what this site is about. It is not a resume nor should it be a quick type as fast as you can so you can join an MT giveaway.
