My suggestion: get rid of Advanced Systemcare Pro, by thieves ..
.. then this config is too paranoid I think?
- I have none of your software (except CCleaner only) and I'm still living on my Windows XP ..

I will try to. Thanks

i would highly suggest you to update from Win XP.

I thought that I have nothing in common with Prorootect. But I can't but agree that you seem to be rather paranoid.
Ccleaner is safe and stable. You can as well do away with Advanced System Care and Glary Utilities.
You secure your browsing so thoroughly that I wonder how you dress when going out - all sweaters, jumpers, coats, overcoats, gumshhoes, extra boots, extra soles, a scarf, a balaclava, a fur hat... Have I missed something?
Wouldn't it be simpler to use Comodo Dragon built on Firefox and aimed at your security right from the start or, let's say - Epic Browser?
Sticky Password is good but Lastpass can do the same things free of charge.
For Backup and Recovery you can use Acronis True Image. And if you use it, you may forget about a Sandbox.

I also run Windows Xp and ain't gonna change it though I have Windows 7 Home Premium which is activated, with the keys for The OS and Office 2010 backuped with Advanced Tokens Manager and the OS backuped with Acronis True Image.

And feel at home.

Good post!!;)

You can also get rid of MBAM "anti exploit" as Kaspersky's "AEP", thoroughly has you covered in that respect:)

Thanks for the suggestions, i will try dragon as well as cyberfox.

Besides, the interface of lastpass puts me off. Sticky password is good, the only drawback is two way authentication they support is via email.

I like your idea of portable apps, will try first to see if it suits my needs.

I am also considering shadow defender.
Thanks for your feedback. :eek:*Gasp* Icekingus quote: "..you may forget about Sandbox." (..and just how did he get my cat to wear red?:confused: That's doing way more than pulling a rabbit out of a hat!:);):p) I am very sold on Sandboxie as I too like bundling up way too much!:cool: Albeit I too still crank up a much treasured vintage XP. Additionally, I know of many wise oracles here on MalwareTips whom have mentioned Shadow Defender often enough to pique my interest!o_O Trying either browser in portable version might be a nice intro!:) A key to how to set a portable is to extract the app onto a memory stick. My 1st portable was CCleaner which then gave me confidence to try it with Cyberfox. Well, that & their unofficial spokesperson yigido. They owe him a t-shirt now!:D
