Pretty good configuration there!

Well in a little concern since CCleaner can be fine already both on registry and its cleaner tool which ASC may provide some issues on few features. Likely an alternative like Privazer or add CCEnhancer to maximize the cleaning ability.

Considering you have a ROG, you upgraded it to W10 correct? If so then I would rather recommend you Virtual Box for your malware samples etc over Shadow Defender. Yes Shadow Defender is good piece of software however, considering that the ASUS doesn't provide a windows disk installation and their custom software is preinstalled in a restore image, things can go a bit sour.

That is just my opinion.
Other than that, swap Dr.Web to MBAM.
W10 and W8 (should you go back to W8) don't really need optimization softwares like ASC. Just CCleaner is more than enough.

I'm running CCleaner once every week (disabled active monitoring). ASC is for optimizing services, startup & the uninstaller which comes with it. Thanks for recommending CCEnhancer. I'm trying it right now.

I somewhat agree with you. Optimization tools aren't necessary these days. But I like ASC for it's cool interface & bundled features like Uninstaller, Homepage Protection & Startup Manager which provides user insight.

MBAM is a great tool I have to admit I might have used it more often than hitman pro. However, Dr Web has better disinfection ability in my opinion.

A very good config, just add BitDefender 60 second virus scanner, which is quick, light and it runs in background.
Then, you can install also Collusion extension for Chrome which allows you to know which sites are tracking you, and this is very important!!
Thanks for sharing it

My only concern is ASC, it will create more problems than it can solve in a long run. Other than that everything looks good.
Nice config. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hello Lahiru Tarz. There is so much I like about your configuration, while (at the same time) I do feel as though I'm navigating unfamiliar waters by asking the following: Does Windows 10 include it's own password manager with encryption such as what LastPass www.lastpass.com provides? Additionally, I nearly feel a pang of guilt as I am about to type what's coming next because so many wiser here than myself have already warned us away from Iobit's Advanced System Care. ..so, if you are currently paying for this software, I do happen to have an unused key you may have. Kindly send me a PM if we are going to respectively ignore our constituents whom rule from High Above on that Mountain called Olympus!

Lastly, my cats would open their eyes just to show their approval (..if only) and I shall look closer at your "Poper blocker" ext. + the Prey for Windows app. Thank you for sharing!

Such a wonderful way of words as ever cats! Iobit can wreck Your system If you do not Pay attention and are click happy , too agressive for most users here. Ccleaner , wisecare 365 and Privazer is the most cuvvited combo by most users and you Cannot beat its price ; f.o.c. ( in the words of Norman bates ) free of charge!

Well, if Norman Bates says: "Free of charge", ..looks like I'm staying @The Bates Motel! ..wondering if Norma uses Advance System Care.

Thank you, Starchild76, for helping me reach my self esteem quota *deflates head* now!

Back on OP (LahiruTarz's) topic, I do attend the church of CCleaner/Privazer; and shall follow the yellow brick road to "Wisecare", both figuratively & literally. We'll confidently hope @Umbra-nator/Staff approve!
