my configuration task is good, only for a lot of these scanners.
all you need is 2 scanners, EEK and HitmanFree or Zeman Free.

I still would recommend you try uBlock Origin - in Advanced User Mode Medium. Very powerful. You can find an excellent video by The Hated One on youtube. Watch the video and with little trial & error you'll see results. In this mode, no lists, contacting developer, etc. like Adblock. His video had me laughing! Then you can compare with Adblock,. You're in the driver's seat. Experiment.

I agreed with you. It is going to take ages for Bitdefender to answer my 1 question: Is it compatible with Windows 10 V1803?
I might go with VoodooShield + Windows Defender.

No problem. I just find out that Bitdefender customer support don't support the free version of Bitdefender at all.

Remove: Bitdefender Free

I don't know what cause Bitdefender Free to interfere GTA 5 because I get no alert from Bitdefender Free nor show anything GTA 5 in notification log. I excluded GTA 5 and Rockstar from Bitdefender Free, and Bitdefender Free still interfered GTA 5 like seriously? I have to shut down Bitdefender Free to play GTA online.

Bitdefender forum is dead. Bitdefender supports don't offer any support to the free version of Bitdefender. Rockstar blamed my Bitdefender Free causing my game unable to connect to the Rockstar cloud service.

Uninstall BD? You could try Kaspersky or Sophos Home Free, etc. if you don't want to use WD. Then add VoodooShield Free, OSArmor, etc. What firewall are you using? Have you tried TinyWall? Good for those who aren't able to create rules in WF..
