I highly recommend adding a backup solution like Macrium Reflect.

Thanks for sharing your config! :)

Backup, backup! Hi, Red-ufo. As i mentioned backup is very important, use Macrium, Aomei or Veeam. And think updating win 10, it is not bigger monster than win 7, they walk almost same line.
I hope you have good memory if you have strong passwords, so do i, and backup memory is vaulted flashdrive with notepad.

Looks pretty solid as-is.

I would recommend removing SUPERAntiSpyware and Ashampoo WinOptimizer due to their reputation/quality.

If you're looking for something additional, try out VoodooShield Free for maximum protection.

Since you're using Firefox, take a look at Sandboxie too.

Does VoodooShield Free work alongside Eset smart security?
I have tried a few System Utilities programs, I found Ashampoo WinOptimizer 14 to be the best. Is there an alternative.

I would personally use either Macrium Reflect or SyncBack to schedule an automated backup to either another drive on your computer or an external drive periodically. SyncBack offers an incremental backup which I find very useful. Looks good to me other than that.

VoodooShield Free works alongside any other security software.
As far as System Utilities go, only trust what CCleaner gives you. Any extra "one-click fixes" that you get from Ashampoo WinOptimizer probably does more harm than good.

Consider removing Super Antispyware.
Probably do not need Malwarebytes Antimalware in real time with ESET Smart Security.
Consider removing Ashampoo WinOtimizer as CCleaner is more than enough.
Definitely consider some type of system and data backup solution.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

I do have CCleaner running In the background, Ashampoo WinOptimizer It's not active In the background, but I do use It from time to time.
Thanks for the VoodooShield Free Info

I just Installed Macrium Reflect & VoodooShield Free and Reason Core Security free, and uninstalled Super Antispyware.

Fantastic config. Nothing to add.

Just make sure you take frequent data backups, and also have a system image at the ready, in case you need it.

Thanks for sharing your config with us, mate. :p

Strong configuration out there.

Although in terms of on demand scanner I think EEK, Zemana and MBAM may already capable to detect possible of remnants threats.

Added Herd Protect, because a of a program conflict with Zemana AntiLogger and Corel PaintShop Pro X8.

I found a workaround Zemana.AntiMalware Portable free.
And you can use Corel PaintShop Pro X8 just fine with It
