Hi there! Since you're already using Avast, there's no need for Outpost Security Suite since that will be overlapping security. A good firewall could be Comod Firewall and Online Armor which are both free. Make sure to upgrade your Firefox to the latest version which is version 15.0.1. There's no need for Trafficlight as Avast already scans your web traffic. WOT is also optional since you already have Avast WebRep. :)
 
Trafficlight is not needed since Avast has a web shield and site reputation app. Same goes for WOT.Webrep comes with Avast. WOT is good for beginners though but take peoples opinions with a grain of salt. Add a backup/disk imaging tool such as Paragon or Macrium and your all set.

Like Aventador said, if you add a backup/disk imaging tool you are set.

Apart from that I like your setup. :)

outpost has option to install in a comparative mode, and it also has USB disk scanner, and i using this configuration for long time since Avast 5....... faced no problem yet.......

yes, i forgot to update my Firefox, thanx
 
upgraded Auslogics Disk Defrag Free to Auslogics Disk Defrag Professional (got from giveway)
added Wise Care 365
 
Changed antivirus software of Configuration2 from Panda Cloud to Panda Antivirus Pro 2013 (got it from pbust ).....

Added Zemana Anti-logger Free Beta........
 
^^ oh, forgot to mention about bootloader..... its EasyBCD free

thinking about removing Outpost free, and try other free internet security suite in my main setup...... anyone have any idea, how Zonealarm Free antivirus with firewall doing now??? previously when i tried it, it was quite heavy while scanning.....
OR
Avast Free with Online Armor Free combination will be good?? how good is online armor free Webshield ?

any other options available ??? let me know :|

waiting for comodo 6 final, so suggest other than comodo
 
OA web shield is different than avast one, check my post there : http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Online-Armor-Free?pid=80798#pid80798
 
uninstalled Outpost Security Free after more than 1 and 1/2 years continuous use with Avast Free, that combo performed quite good i think.........

installed Online Armor Free. , still no problem with Avast Free, this combo working quite well.....
firewall is much user friendly than Outpost i think, and for common programs, it automatically trusts programs from internet.... they have quite good database of common programs, much better than outpost which gives me lot lots questions on what i do :( , but still i love outpost, maybe because , more than 1 and half year long relationship :angel:

outpost free is also have anti-malware, good for on-demand scan, now i think i have to install Malwarebyts......

i personally think outpost should think about making outpost security free user friendly....
 
Tapoo don't you have freezing problems with this combo ( avast free and o.a. free ??? ) cpu spikes??? slow laoding of firefox???
 
^^ sorry for late reply.... uninstalled OA 1 week ago, faced some problem, cant remember exactly....

installed Webroot SecureAnywhere 2013 facebook 6 months trial with Avast free....
 
Nice, you must add

Second-Opinion scanners:
✏Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
✏Comodo Cleaning Essentials
✏Emsisoft Emergency Kit
✏ESET Online Scanner

Instead of Webroot you should use Comodo Firewall

Webroot has high false alarm rate in the last av-comparaitives false alarm test webroot had 210 false alarms
 
Bitdefender IS 2013 license expired :(, uninstalled after 1 long year .....

now installed Comodo Internet Security 5.12, with Forticlient 5 [Realtime scan Off].....
Forticlient 5 automatically detected that Comodo is installed and installed as on-demand scanner, but its Web Scanning is on, and that's good for me, because Comodo have no web scanner :)
still faced no problem.....
 
removed CIS 5.12 + Fortinet combination....

installed Comodo Internet Security 6 Final.
Fortinet making problem with CIS 6, so cant use Fortinet Webshield with CIS 6:(

any other options?? is Bitdefender Trafficlight will be enough or should I install K9 Web Protection with CIS 6??
 
bitdefender traficlight will be sufficiënt , in risk of overkill : less is more! :)
