Nice setup.
Altought I'm wondering why you're using the portable installation of Google Chrome ? So if you get browser hijacked or etc. you simply delete it and redownload it ?

 

[omidomi]

Good config!

 

[RevolutionSphere]

Ah alright. As you're running a 64-bits version of Windows, you never thought about using a 64-bits build of Firefox to see if it impact your RAM usage by a lot ?

I have tested waterfox and cyberfox... also the new chrome 64-bit ... he is the fastest browser for me!
but at the moment only firefox and chrome receives support from Qihoo 360 Web Threat Protection...

Make sense in that case. Was wondering if there was really a reason behind that setup and guess there was one !

Backup plan?

 

[silversurfer]

After a long time I want to update my security config...

Removed: Chrome (portable), Adguard (extension), MBAM and MBAE Free

Added: ZAM Premium, HMP.Alert (licensed), Opera, uBlock Origin, Shadow Defender

feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

The only suggestion that cross my mind now is update to Windows 10 But that's just personal preference

 

[frogboy]

Some very nice additions you have added there and like @BoraMurdar i would suggest Windows 10, at least give it a try it works great here.

 

[NOLF92]

Just wondering, why didn't you like Adguard? Were you just using the browser extension, or Adguard 6.0, the desktop version? I run it with uBlock Origin, and they make a fine team.

Just make sure you make a backup of Windows before the upgrade of course.

 

[DracusNarcrym]

Awesome update, and solid overall config!

How do you feel about Opera? I had it as a backup browser for a while until it felt redundant so I removed it.

Also, generally speaking, make sure that you have at least one clean, full system backup image created with AOMEI Backupper Standard so that you can restore your system to its exact state, as it was when you created that system image.
This is very important and it should be your first line of defense against any issues you may encounter on your system.
(sorry about this ranting, I just got used to posting this piece of advice in everyone's configuration )
