It is just about to ok.Just add a Backup software or use windows own backup it is must and complete
On-demand Malware Scanners:
Malwarebytes ??

I don't feel like I need backup software. I usually don't have anything stored on my PC that needs it, everything is in the cloud in some way. When I said Malwarebytes I meant Anti-Malware Free :)

Btw, has anyone tried something like boxcryptor? I pretty much won't use a computer without encryption and having unencrypted files in the cloud doesn't feel too safe.

I still would like to suggest some backup software, all should have some. Give Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper a try both have a very good free and reliable version. ;)

If yo u do not have a portable HDD try Aomei OneKey it will even help create a new partition backup to. :)

Add Zemana and a system backupper. OPTIONAL upgrade to Windows 10 its phenomenal in security and speed. :)

I have been using Windows 10 since it came out in July of last year but I decided to install Windows 7 yesterday.
For some reason the OS started acting weird.. A process called "System and compressed memory"? started using 25%+ CPU which made the computer unusable. Even after a re-install it was there.

Backup is a must no matter if you don't have any valuable information, it can prevent for you to reformat everything which solves by just snapshots.

For Windows 10, you need to install everything from its cumulative updates in order to achieve the optimization. Yes some systems have problems with that OS because of memory optimization.

Anyone have any suggestions on what real-time protection I can add? My Bitdefender license is good for 336 days. It can be paid products, but I wouldn't want it to cost too much.

Bitdefender has great real-time anti-ransomware, so you're good on that front. You've got Malwarebytes for real-time anti-exploit. You could get Zemana or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium. Or an anti-executable. I don't think it is necessary though. Your configuration looks good.

Which anti-executable would you recommend personally? Looking at that thread and pricing and such then NVT Exe Radar Pro looks the best.

I've only used NVTERP and AppGuard, and of the two, I liked AppGuard more. They're both very light and are non-intrusive, but I liked the concept and GUI of AppGuard more so I stuck with it. I recommend you try both trials and see which interface you like more. When it comes to price, NVTERP lifetime license is half the price of a 1-year AppGuard license. NVTERP development is slower though.
